Impractical Jokers UK is the British version of the American hidden camera-practical joke reality television series, Impractical Jokers. The UK version premiered on BBC Three on 15 November 2012. It follows four comedians, Paul McCaffrey, Joel Dommett, Marek Larwood, and Roisin Conaty, as they coerce one another into doing public pranks while being filmed by hidden cameras. The show was not a success, unlike the U.S. version, and was cancelled on 2 April 2014.

Format

The show differs from other prank television programs in that the stars of Impractical Jokers do not know the details of the prank until the moment they are performing it on strangers. While one cast-member performs the prank, the other three comedians are behind the scenes, feeding lines to their friend via microphone (with an earpiece). The lines fed to their friend are meant to create a humorous and awkward exchange between them and the stranger.

Episodes

Before every challenge, there is a hidden camera and mic placed on the cast-member performing the prank. The location in which the challenge takes place is usually a public area such as a high street or store. Although the criteria of each challenge is the same for each of the four comedians.
