Season 2
The search for the funniest new comedic talent returns for a second season of Last Comic Standing that sees 10 new comics trying to keep their sense of humour while being holed up in a house together.
The series begins with a nationwide search for comics across the US that culminates in finalists showing off their skills at venues in New York and Las Vegas.
The 10 most stand-up of them are then chosen from the rabble and the rest of the series follows them as they stand-up to see who has what it takes to make an audience hysterical and win their votes.
The prize up for grabs is a development contract with the TV network NBC, which includes their own Special on one of NBC's cable channels.
