laugh riot
Side-splitting entertainment
A laugh riot is something extremely funny—a comedy, performance, or situation that provokes continuous laughter: The new sketch show is a laugh riot.
The phrase often appears sarcastically to describe something decidedly unfunny: Oh great, another three-hour meeting. That'll be a laugh riot.
