Amy Gledhill’s Bold Comedy Act Overwhelms Jimmy in Last One Laughing
Amy Gledhill, 38, from Hull, joins the cast of Taskmaster Season 21 starting tonight. She won the 2024 Edinburgh Comedy Award for Make Me Look Fit On The Poster.
Gledhill has also appeared on Netflix’s Sex Education. Her growing profile includes recent streaming and television projects.
Unaired Last One Laughing moment
Gledhill spoke about an unaired scene from Prime Video’s Last One Laughing Series Two. She told Alan Carr on his Life’s a Beach podcast that an improvised bed sketch with Sam Campbell went too far for broadcast.
She said the improv became very filthy. At one point she considered a stunt she felt unsure about for television.
The moment ended when Jimmy Carr called “cut.” The producers left the sketch out of the final edit.
How colleagues remember it
Alan Carr recalled the contestants’ desperation to make one another laugh. He described the atmosphere as competitive and chaotic.
Gledhill joked that if she was too much for Jimmy Carr, she needed to reassess her choices. The exchange underlined how extreme some sketches became.
