Comedians star in BBC comedy quiz show Ready Or Not

BBC One is launching Ready Or Not, a new Saturday night comedy entertainment game show in which comedians surprise unsuspecting members of the public.

British Comedy Guide, 8th March 2018

If you've ever switched over to Comedy Central, chances are you would have landed on either an episode of Friends or Impractical Jokers, the show where four comedians and lifelong friends compete to embarrass each other out amongst the general public with a series of hilarious and outrageous dares. Now the show is getting a UK version, but not for the first time. Back in 2012, BBC Three launched Impractical Jokers with a cast made up of Paul McCaffrey, Joel Dommett, Marek Larwood, and Roisin Conaty. The show was an instant hit, ran for 12 episodes across two series and last year it was announced that Channel 5 were making an all-new series of Impractical Jokers UK with a whole new cast; Lee Griffiths, Matt Ralph, Paul Biggin, and David Moon - otherwise known as comedy group Late Night Gimp Fight. Based on the hit US series, Impractical Jokers UK sees four best friends compete in a series of challenges, turning everyday situations into outrageously funny and embarrassing tests by breaking all the rules of British politeness. Time will tell if it will live up to the US version, or even the first Impractical Jokers.
