- David Mitchell tipped for potential return after winning Season 2

Season 2 Wrap Sparks Fresh Betting Market
With Season 2 of Last One Laughing wrapping up earlier this month, attention has quickly shifted to who could feature in the next instalment, with betting experts opening early markets.
Prime Video has already confirmed that a Halloween Special will arrive later this year, followed by a full third series in 2027.
That announcement has fuelled speculation around the next line-up, particularly given the show’s format of mixing established comedians with unexpected personalities.
The return of former contestants is also a key talking point, with precedent already set in previous series.
David Mitchell Return Narrative Builds
One of the biggest angles in the market is whether current champion David Mitchell could return for Season 3.
After Bob Mortimer reappeared in Season 2 following his Series 1 win, there is growing expectation that Mitchell could follow the same path.
His dry delivery and composure made him a worthy winner, albeit unable to crack Sam Campbell, and a return would fit the show’s evolving format.
While not explicitly priced in the market, this narrative is influencing how the experts are shaping the rest of the field.

Established Names Dominate the Market
A clear trend in the betting is the dominance of well-established UK comedians.
Names like Jon Richardson, Harry Hill, and Greg Davies highlight the show’s continued reliance on recognisable personalities, while figures like Alex Horne suggest a crossover with other successful comedy formats.
This blend of mainstream appeal and niche humour has been central to the show’s success so far, and the experts appear to expect more of the same for Season 3.
Last One Laughing thrives on character-driven comedy, where contrasting styles create the most entertaining moments.
That explains why performers like Kayvan Novak and Kathy Burke are prominent in the market as both are capable of delivering unpredictable and memorable performances.
