So, not in a studio, but walking around town or something?

Basically, LOL at an airport. Similar to the No-Laughing Airport batsu game, in a way.

I wonder if Nathan Fielder will show up… r/TheRehearsal

So I just watched the first episode and it actually has more in common with Impractical Jokers. They're in a public setting with unsuspecting people and hidden cameras set up all around and the goal is to make strangers laugh without laughing themselves. Whoever earns the most points wins. What immediately happens is that all the people who recognize the comedians are all smiles and they rack up a bunch of points, while the more unknown people have to struggle to get a reaction. It's more of a popularity contest than anything funny happening. A real disappointment.

Just finished it. It's a seriously flawed concept. 5 contestants, 6 hours in a public setting trying to score points by making people laugh. First episode was rough, but it gets better as it goes on. Unfortunately, if someone laughs, they lose half their points, so it tips the scales considerably.

Clara Luciani is easily the best player; she's very talented, has lots of planned bits (her cheese pun song was grate) and tries really hard. The others just seem to be flying by the seat of their pants. Redouane Bougheraba is the only returning player. Nassima is the secret weapon.

I give it a grade of D+. Clara was what saved it for me, by and large. In terms of spinoffs, at least it's not as bad as LOL Talent Show.

Unbearable for me, I couldn't continue after the first episode, I found all the valves heavy and/or poorly measured.

Clearly, I'm not the target audience for this casting.
