CULVER CITY, California - June 29, 2023 - Today, Prime Video announced its first unscripted African Original, LOL: Last One Laughing Naija, will launch on July 14, hosted by Nigeria's king of comedy, Basketmouth. The six-part series is a unique, unpredictable, unscripted comedy, which follows the successful adaptation of Prime Video's global smash-hit comedy franchise currently produced in over 20 countries and territories worldwide, including Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa - hosted by Trevor Noah and launching early next year.

The series will see Basketmouth pit 10 of Nigeria's best comedy and entertainment stars against one another in a celebrity showdown where anything can happen. Today, Prime Video reveals the much-anticipated all-star lineup made up of Nigeria's top-tier comedy acts: Okey Bakassi, Acapella, Mr Funny, KieKie, Buchi, Dat Warri Girl, Taaooma, Senator, IGoSave, and Gandoki.

"Our audiences are going to love seeing a series full of incredible Nigerian humour and comedic talent with this A-List lineup of comedians, who will test each other's limits in the pursuit of laughter in LOL: Last One Laughing," said Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, head of Nigerian Originals, Prime Video. "We're proud to be bringing Prime Video customers a genre most loved and consumed by Nigerian audiences around the world."

"LOL: Last One Laughing is a global hit for Prime Video, and that's why we're excited to bring its very own version to customers in Nigeria," said Ned Mitchell, head of African and Middle East Originals, Prime Video. "As the first unscripted African Original to launch on Prime Video, LOL: Last One Laughing Naija continues to set the tone and standard of the authentic Nigerian stories and genres we want to share with our audiences at home and abroad, and our commitment to the local TV and film industry."

The six-part series will follow the group of comedians as they compete to be the Last One Laughing. For six hours, there is only one rule: if you laugh, you lose. The last comedian to remain straight-faced will be the winner, and will be able to donate 40M NGN to a local charity of their choice. The top comedic lineup will bring every comedy trick they have to make each other laugh whilst resisting the urge to laugh themselves.

The series is produced by Amazon Studios in collaboration with Nigeria's LiveSpot360 Productions and will be available on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

As well as an exclusive commissioning slate deal with Nemsia Films, beginning with Breath of Life, launching later this year.
