I thought it was a weird setup for a program, so I was a bit skeptical at first-only clicked play because so many comedians I like were in the lineup.
Sure, I get that this isn't for everyone. It's not the usual overproduced, slapstick-style comedy that some seem to prefer. Instead, it's just a bunch of interesting people with great chemistry (and I'm sure they're good friends in real life) simply having fun. And that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable to watch.
If you enjoy shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie to You?, or even QI, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
If only the great Sean Lock was still with us-he would have been perfect for this.

I was skeptical about the premise of this, as improvisation comedy, on the face of it, is incredibly hard to do without being over the top. However, those familiar with 'Would I lie to you?' and 'IT Crowd' (and other British TV staples) would immediately know that these are some very talented comedians.
The whole show falls on whether these comedians have the ability to just be funny people in just everyday casual conversations, and they succeed with flying colours.
Moreover, the fact that the tension becomes more palpable every hour closer to the 6 hour time limit means that stakes naturally become higher and you see a lot of clever and amusing returns/quips; it is brilliant to see how comedians can receive a statement/joke and then immediately return it in such a inconceivably witty way.
Next season simply must have Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon. Also, Sean Lock (God bless his soul) would have been absolutely sensational at this.
Highly recommended.

I went in knowing some of the comedians weren't my cup of tea... but boy was I wrong!
The first two episodes were a bit of a drag to get into- as they were trying to get to grips with the gameplay. However, from episode three onwards I was really enjoying myself. I decided to join in on the challenge and that was one of the reasons why I enjoyed it so much. Trying not to laugh at the simple, yet stupid- and somewhat childish- jokes they came out with is why this show was so funny.
I have always loved Joe Wilkinson and Richard Ayoade and they did not disappoint with their comedy, as well as the other comedians in this series.
It blended slapstick, improv, observational, absurdist, all the way to good old fashioned knock knock jokes. A good watch if you want to just enjoy comedians trying to rack their brains to get someone to laugh.
The joker challenges were amazing alongside the special guests they brought in... a really fun Friday night watch.

I wasn't sure if I would like the concept, which has multiple versions from pretty much every country around the world, of comedians sat in a room, trying not to laugh. However, when those comedians are amongst the funniest people in the country right now, how could it not be great? Lou Sanders and Joe Wilkinson are, as always, highlights, but even though a couple of the guys aren't exactly my favourites, I wouldn't say there was any weak link. If you're a fan of some of these comedians then I'm sure you'll love the show, if you've never heard of most of them then then you probably won't. But that's kind of obvious, right?
This programme depends on your sense of humour, I watched the first episode out of curiosity, then the next, then the next.
It's a solid line up (except Daisy May who I find deeply unfunny and pulls the weirdest faces throughout (sorry Daisy May)) but Joe, Richard, Jimmy, Rob, Judy, Bob, Roisin, Sarah, Lou and Harriet. What's not to love.
Lou, Richard, Bob, Rob and Joe W are outstanding to watch as they come at it from different directions. You can also see that they find great humour in everything as simple conversations mean they walk away as they've thought of a joke or something funny to say.
Seeing great comedians trying not to be funny is funny especially if you're looking out for the twinkle in their eyes that shows just how fast and funny they are but aren't able to say the line for fear of making themself laugh.
I personally found it funny and very warm to see just how funny great comedians find other comedians (with the exception of Daisy May (sorry Daisy May)) It's not always crying laughter but it's a warmth that enjoyable, like Big Brother but with people you like (except Daisy May (sorry Daisy May)) and who are actually funny (except.......)
