Roisin Conaty

Roisin Conaty Instagram – In an upstairs room in a comedy club in Soho, Jimmy Carr wears his customary suit and sits statue still, while Roisin Conaty and Lou Sanders constantly try to prick his ego. The comedians have ordered a vat of coffee, making them even more hyper than usual, and all three clearly share a bond forged over a career spent facing drunk and occasionally hostile rooms.⁠
⁠
They also have their new Prime Video show, Last One Laughing, in common. The premise is simple: put ten comedians in a room, and then kick them out if they cackle. ⁠
⁠
So what does make them laugh? Are certain jokes off-limits — or is there more freedom than ever? When people are feeling broke, why do comedy venues seem more resilient than, say, regional theatres? ⁠
⁠
To answer these and other burning questions, The Sunday Times sits down for a state-of-the-nation chat with this trio of top stand-ups.⁠
