Bob Mortimer won a Bafta last night for his performance in Last One Laughing, taking best entertainment performance at the ceremony in London. Last One Laughing also won the entertainment Bafta as the show’s stock kept rising after a year in which one of its most talked-about scenes was already in contention for a viewer-voted prize.

The awards were held at the Royal Festival Hall in London and hosted by Greg Davies, with the room moving between broad comedy and a more serious sweep for Adolescence, which collected four accolades. Owen Cooper won supporting actor, Christine Tremarco took supporting actress and Stephen Graham won leading actor before the programme itself was named limited drama.

The result underlined how strongly Last One Laughing has landed with voters and judges alike. In 2025, Mortimer and Richard Ayoade’s speed date on the show was nominated in the most memorable TV moment category, a recognition that pointed to the series’ appeal well beyond its competition format.

Roisin Conaty thanked the cast as she collected the award for Last One Laughing and called it an amazing honour. She said it was like a war room trying to keep it together, a remark that captured the frantic energy behind a show built on forcing performers to stay funny while everyone else tries to make them crack.

That contest sat alongside a wider ceremony that also recognised Amandaland, How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge) and Here We Go. Holly Walsh said her award meant so much because of the people who tell her, “I am an Amanda” or “I know an Amanda!”, while Steve Coogan joked that if anyone wanted to know when Alan Partridge was going to die, it would probably be about the same time as he does, adding that he was grateful people still appreciate the character.

Katherine Parkinson also used the stage to acknowledge the audience for family viewing, saying she really, really, really, really did not expect to win and that it mattered to make a show people sit down and watch together. For Mortimer, though, the night delivered the clearest verdict yet: the show that had already produced one of 2025’s most memorable TV moments is now a Bafta winner in its own right, and he is at the centre of that win.
