V.ietato to laugh, but obligatory to make people laugh: welcome – or perhaps it would be better to say welcome back – a LOL – Who laughs is outthe game show Endemol Shine Italy for Amazon Studios now in its second season. With the first four episodes available in streaming from 24 February; the last two from 3 March with the grand finale.
Watched by the game master Fedezflanked by Frank Matano – last year it was in its place Mara Maionchi – ten comedians compete on ground they know very well, la comedy.

But this same “ground” will try to make them capitulate: who laughs at other people’s jokes or sketches, just as the title of the program says, is “out»From the show. And yes precludes the possibility of winning the 100 thousand euros up for grabs, which the winner can donate to a charity of his choice.
Judging by the clips you will laugh a lot. We saw a séance with grandmother’s ashes, the return of some historical characters of Corrado Guzzanti (for example Vulvia), a horny stuffed dog to wear on the ankle, new fashion of the Forest Wizard.
Of course, the success of the first season weighs and causes anxiety. He says Virginia Raffaele: “I imagined that I was going to encounter terrible things, then my worst nightmares took shape. I prepared some ideas, but then everything happens in there and then suddenly, you look inside for something that makes you laugh first and foremosta, and then throw it in the middle ».
To increase the difficulty coefficient of this edition Lillo becomes a special guesta loose cannon with the assignment of put competitors in even more difficulty. Entering the game being able to laugh «was one liberation», Lillo declared,« is the main reason why I said yes to this edition. […] being inside is one real suffering, as everyone has said. In the first edition, I made absurd faces of which I did not realize! ».
Corrado Guzzanti, a recluse long before the pandemicat LOL it ended up there instead as a relief valve, for a sort of therapy: «I wanted to throw myself into something shocking, in an extreme situation». Even if he later admitted that he felt discomfort, the experience was very far from what he knew. «I understood that it is improvisation rather than prepared pieces that displace opponents. And it was tiring, like those who participate in the New York marathon thinking it’s “who knows what” and then they collapse after half a kilometer ».

LOL – Who laughs is out 2: the comedians
And if last year, among others, they also participated Caterina Guzzanti, Elio, Katia Follesa and Lillo (hence the catchphrase “So ‘Lillo” and “Posaman”), once again this year the team of comedians is very respectable.
In fact, there will be a challenge in a balanced mix between jokes and self control Virginia Raffaele, Corrado Guzzanti, Diana Del Bufalo, Maccio Capatonda, Maria Di Biase, Mago Forest, Alice Mangione, Gianmarco Pozzoli, Tess Masazza and Max Angioni.

During the presentation press conference, the comedians shared their experiences. Without filters, of course. “That idiot Michele Foresta put me in great difficulty»Admitted Virginia Raffaele. «Even Maria was a nightmare turned into reality. As soon as I look at Maria, I laugh, no offense. The magician, I hate him! He makes me laugh even when he is still! ».
Di Biase, on the other hand, has the opposite opinion to hers: “What doesn’t make me laugh? Definitely Forest“, he has declared. «Yes, we are in a complicated period, it is difficult to say things but a comedian has to tell her“.

Others, however, from LOL they took the cue to do something new. “I asked Corrado to make a film with me,” said Maccio Capatonda. «I hope to do so. LOL allowed me, for the first time, to do something live. For me it was the first time and I hope to continueperhaps with a theatrical performance ».
