Life Is No Joke throws 10 comedians into real-world jobs - hospitals, hotels, night shifts, metro tunnels - and gives them 24 hours to turn those experiences into stand-up sets performed live… for the very people they just worked alongside.

This is the world premiere of Life Is No Joke - a daring, emotional, and bitingly funny new reality format developed by Incandescent Distribution, launching exclusively at NATPE Budapest.

10 contestants. 1 house. 1 month of pressure. Dual judging: expert panel + live “laugh-o-meter”. Every other week, someone goes home. Monetary prize + stand-up special + club contract. The Finale is live. The public decides.

With themes like In the City, In the Village, or On the Island, the show reflects real lives, real labor, and the comedy we use to survive it. Emotionally raw. Structurally tight. Ready to travel.
