#FIRSTLOOK: “LAST ONE LAUGHING UK” SPECIAL TO FEATURE 10 COMEDY STARS

Prime Video has revealed the stellar line-up for UK Original series Last One Laughing UK. The series will feature a multitude of British comics: Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade – with Jimmy Carr in the host’s seat alongside special guest Rosin Conaty.

Famous for his dark humour, one-liners and THAT laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges 10 of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as a titter. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents – without cracking up themselves. And it’s not just their rivals they need to watch out for. The series is packed with comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to lure laughs from both the players and the viewers. It’s a stellar line up of British comedy talent as you’ve never seen them before, but who will be crowned the inaugural winner of Last One Laughing UK?

Last One Laughing UK is the latest adaptation of the successful Amazon Original series from Japan entitled Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians betting their own money in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.” The fan-favourite Last One Laughing format became the most watched title of all time on Prime Video in France, Germany and Italy, and had hugely successful local versions in over 20 territories. Local celebrity hosts include Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Bully” Herbig (Germany), Rebel Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).

Last One Laughing UK is produced by Banijay UK labels Zeppotron and Initial.

#FIRSTLOOK: JACK WHITEHALL “CHRISTMAS SPECIAL JACK IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS” COMING TO PRIME VIDEO

Prime Video unveiled its brand-new Christmas Special Jack In Time For Christmas, led by comedian and actor, Jack Whitehall. The UK Original is set to launch exclusively on Prime Video worldwide in December 2024. The special is produced by Workerbee (a Banijay UK company) and Jackpot Productions.

‘Tis the season for gifts, goodwill, and of course genre-bending seasonal semi-scripted specials. That’s why Prime Video has wrapped up the ultimate Christmas present for comedy lovers. In this hilariously festive feature, Jack Whitehall finds himself stranded in the USA with just four days to make it back to the UK for Christmas. With time ticking away, Jack embarks on an incredible and, some would say, implausible journey involving planes, trains, huskies, and bobsleighs. A stockingful of conveniently located famous faces help (and hinder) along the way as Jack navigates the chaos of Christmas and tries to make it home in time.

Part scripted comedy, part unscripted travelogue – Jack is joined by Michael Bublé, Dave Bautista, Rebel Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Daisy May Cooper, and Tom Davies, who, together with Jack’s unmistakable British wit, deliver a sparkling international cast set to deliver heaps of laughter. Will Jack make it home in time to make the gravy? Or will he be spending the holidays in the states, and the doghouse?

#FOOD: LUCIE TO HOST CHARITY LUNCHEON WITH EGALE ON NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY

MICHELIN recommended fine dining French restaurant Lucie is proud to host it’s inaugural charity luncheon in partnership with Egale, Canada’s leading 2SLGBTQI human rights organization to celebrate National Coming Out Day on October 10, 2024.

Egale, the beneficiary for this special luncheon, has a mission to create a world where all 2SLGBTQI individuals can live freely and authentically, without fear of discrimination or violence. With anti-2SLGBTQI discourse on the rise, it is more crucial than ever to create safe and welcoming environments for those who are coming out. Through its comprehensive approach, Egale has become a vital resource for advocacy, education, and support within Canada and beyond. 

At Lucie, the internal culture has always fostered an open and diverse environment with both leaders helming both front and back of house, being proud members of the 2SLGBTQI community. 

Lucie’s general manager Yoann Beaubouchez believes his venture into the fine dining world as a member of the 2SLGBTQI community taught him  resilience, strength, and self-discovery. Starting out in France, he faced a challenging  environment, working in an industry dominated by straight men where acceptance was hard to come by. The constant judgment and bullying could have broken many, but instead, it fueled his determination. 

“I worked harder, not only to prove my worth but to show that being different didn’t make me less valuable. My skills and work ethic eventually spoke for themselves. Taking control of my destiny, I left France to explore the world, seeking a place where I could truly thrive,” says Yoann Beaubouchez, General Manager at Lucie. 

“Canada became that place, and crossing paths with Yannick Bigourdan changed everything. His open-mindedness and trust gave me the chance to take on a leadership role as the general manager at Lucie. For the first time, I could excel by being my authentic self, achieving remarkable success. Now, I use my voice to inspire younger generations, sharing the message that believing in yourself and embracing your uniqueness can turn those very qualities into the strongest asset in life. In a world that can make people feel ashamed for being different, my story stands as a testament to the power of self-acceptance and determination in making dreams come true.”

(pictured left to right: Yoann Beaubouchez, Arnaud Bloquel)

Like Beaubouchez, Executive chef at Lucie, Arnaud Bloquel faced similar discrimination and hardships in the fine dining world. 

“In the world of gastronomy, the kitchen is a place where the flames of passion and creativity intertwine. But for some, those flames also conceal deeper truths. It was a space where I had to hide a part of myself: my homosexuality. In my early days, the work was intense, driven by the sound of knives and pans. We focused on the plate, but behind it all, another battle raged: the fear of being judged, of being different in a world that could sometimes be harsh and intolerant,” says Executive chef at Lucie, Arnaud Bloquel.

Conversations among colleagues were often laced with questionable jokes, and Bloquel confesses he would  laugh along, hoping to stay under the radar. 

“There were moments when the loneliness weighed heavier than the long hours in the kitchen. At the end of service, when everyone would go out, sharing stories about their love lives, I stayed behind, not daring to reveal that I was living a different reality. I often wondered how long I could keep going like this, torn between the heat of the kitchen and the fire burning within me, the fire of my truth. Then one day, I decided to stop hiding. It was a difficult but liberating moment. Coming out wasn’t easy. The fear of rejection was very real, but I knew I could no longer hide behind the stove without being true to myself. The first time I spoke was to my mother because I needed her support, and I could no longer lie to her or to myself. Then came the time to tell the rest of my family, who supported me. That moment was a turning point. Gradually, I found the strength to speak up. The journey wasn’t without its challenges, but the kitchen became a place where I could be authentic, where my dishes and I were finally in harmony. Today, I’m proud of who I am. In the kitchen, as in life, there is no perfect recipe, but there is one truth: to accept oneself and live freely. Coming out was the beginning of a new freedom, both personally and professionally. This is a story that highlights the challenges, but also the liberation and acceptance that come after difficult moments,” says Bloquel.  

Egale’s annual Coming Out Together campaign is about encouraging adults to ‘come out’ as supportive, affirming and safe people in the lives of 2SLGBTQI youth. Through this campaign, Egale calls on everyone to do three simple tasks: Pledge, Attend, and Learn. 

Pledge to be an affirming adult for 2SLGBTQI youth: participants who take the pledge receive an automated email with a checklist of tangible actions including links to resources, social shareables, the affirming adults webinar invite and more.

Attend a free webinar on affirming adults for 2SLGBTQI youth: Egale offers a free, interactive webinar which explores the vital role that all adults can take up in promoting environments where 2SLGBTQI youth can thrive. The webinar considers key characteristics of what being affirming means and provides practical strategies and support resources. Participants will also have an opportunity to exchange promising tips and tools with one another. Those interested will be able to register HERE when this year’s link goes live.

Learn how to navigate the coming out journey with resources: Coming out is often a task that requires an immense amount of bravery, vulnerability, and honesty. Using Egale’s resources for both adults and youth when navigating the coming out journey can be a helpful tool. 

“Egale Canada is deeply grateful to the leadership at Lucie for promoting inclusion this National Coming Out Day and for supporting our continued work to fight for 2SLGBTQI rights while combatting discrimination,” says executive director of Egale Canada, Helen Kennedy.  

Donations to Egale go towards their ongoing research, education, awareness and legal advocacy initiatives to help create a world without homophobia, transphobia, biphobia and all other forms of oppression so that everyone can achieve their full potential, free from hatred and bias. 

Co-hosted by restaurateur Yannick Bigourdan, owner of Lucie and entrepreneur Chad Rogers, partner at Crestview Strategy, this noteworthy luncheon marks a cultural shift in the right direction. 

Co-host Yannick Bigourdan says, “This special event is a big opportunity for the entire team at Lucie and myself to support chef Arnaud and our general manager Yoann in their desire to share their stories. Both are leaders in the fine dining industry while belonging to the LGBTQ community, which can be difficult.” 

Bigourdan’s co-host, Chad Rogers, is a leading partner of Crestview Strategy, a public affairs agency. Named one of the ‘Top 100 Lobbyists’ in Canada by The Hill Times Magazine, Rogers is a sought-after media commentator, a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for public service and an Honourary Consul of the Republic of Kosovo in Canada. A member of the community himself, Rogers often lobbies for 2SLGBTQI issues. 

To support and celebrate National Coming Out Day, donations can be made to Egale HERE with the option to do so in memory of a loved one. Egale welcomes all to host third-party fundraisers, buy from the Egale Marketplace or even bequeath a gift.

Click HERE for tickets and more details.

Swims recently released his new single “Bad Dreams” — via Warner Records and watch the video:

The new track debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, giving him three songs on the chart, in addition to hitting #1 on the UK airplay charts.

It builds on the momentum of his global smash hit “Lose Control,” which he performed last month on the MTV VMAs, along with his recent charting single “The Door” and a rendition of Rihanna’s “Stay.” He was nominated for four awards at the show, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best Alternative, and PUSH Performance of the Year.

2024 has been a whirlwind for Swims, who celebrated the success of his multi-Platinum chart-conquering hit “Lose Control” from I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). In addition to claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song has amassed over 2.3 billion global streams, reached #1 on five radio formats (Top 40, Hot AC, AC, R&B, and Rhythm), and was recently inducted into Spotify’s “Billions Club.”

Putting in real work for years, a quiet, yet steady grind brought Swims to the forefront of popular culture as a tried-and-true star without comparison. Teddy started to gain notoriety after posting covers online in 2019 — such as Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” and Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” — gaining hundreds of millions of views, leading to his signing to Warner Records in 2020. He tirelessly honed his voice and songwriting across EPs such as Unlearning [2021], Tough Love [2022], and Sleep Is Exhausting [2022]. He showcased his sky-high range by collaborating with artists such as Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Meghan Trainor, X Ambassadors, Thomas Rhett, ILLENIUM, Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, and Matoma. He made a statement with I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) in 2023, and wrapped up a prolific run by releasing a Live Version of the album alongside his band Freak Freely at the top of 2024.

Swims shows no signs of slowing down as he gears up for a record-breaking 2025, with the release of I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) and his biggest global tour to date—including performances at Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina and Brazil—on the horizon.
