Just for Laughs is a British hidden camera comedy show which was broadcast on Saturday nights on BBC One. It was produced by Wild Rover Productions with Philip Morrow as producer. It started airing in 2003 and ran for five seasons, going off air in 2007. During its run, it was the only Saturday night entertainment show currently on BBC One to be produced by an independent television company based outside London. Just for Laughs was filmed primarily in and around Belfast, Northern Ireland, Glasgow, Scotland and Leeds, England. The Belfast Botanic Gardens were a common filming location for doing some pranks. Just for Laughs has a Canadian sister version called Just For Laughs Gags, and the format of the two is identical. Some of the clips for Just for Laughs are taken directly from Just for Laughs Gags, and vice versa.

Never the introvert, the Angriest Man in America Lewis Black hosts a roster of opinionated comics who just want to be heard, dammit! Along with Lewis spewing his usual bile about the state of everything, Derek Edwards pontificates on his driving frustrations, Dom Irrera thinks alcohol is wonderful, Kathleen Madigan has lost all hope for America, Greg Giraldo rants on about how women have all the power today, and Paul F Tompkins has probably the most incendiary topic of all.
