Mortimer’s 4/6 odds suggest a 60% implied probability that he will once again outlast his fellow comedians in the laugh-free challenge.
Alan Carr is second favourite at 6/4, while David Mitchell sits close behind at 2/1, giving the market three clear frontrunners heading into the new season.
Further down the betting, Diane Morgan is priced at 3/1, with Romesh Ranganathan available at 4/1.
Reigning Champion Returns for Another Shot
Bob Mortimer’s victory in the first series made him one of the standout contestants of the format.
His surreal humour and unpredictable storytelling proved particularly effective in breaking fellow comedians, while his ability to maintain composure under pressure helped him outlast the competition.
That combination has led the experts to install him as the odds-on favourite to win again.
Returning winners are rare in comedy competition formats, but Mortimer’s unique style could once again make him difficult to eliminate.
What the expert says...
Strong Line-Up Creates Competitive Market
While Mortimer leads the betting, the Season 2 line-up suggests plenty of competition.
Alan Carr’s energetic comedy style could cause chaos inside the LOL house while David Mitchell’s famously dry wit could prove equally effective in triggering laughs from the group.
Diane Morgan also enters the series as a strong contender, with her deadpan delivery often producing awkward and hilarious moments that fit the format perfectly.
Romesh Ranganathan’s quick-fire humour also makes him an intriguing option at 4/1, particularly given his experience on panel shows and improv-style comedy formats.
With a mixture of stand-up stars and television regulars entering the competition the betting market suggests this season could be far more competitive than the first.
