Jimmy Carr at The Colston Hall in Bristol on Saturday 16 September 2017
Jimmy Carr will perform at The Colston Hall in Bristol on Saturday 16 September 2017.
As the title suggests, Jimmy Carr revisits some of his favourite jokes from the last 15 years and repackages them alongside brand new material for his epic 2016-17 tour. As The Independent points out, “the sheer number of one-liners and gags in a typical Carr show is overwhelming. You would have to be a mega-fan to remember them all.” Needless to say, the material will be as offensive, outré and outrageous as we’ve come to expect from the “acid-tongued comic [who offends] just about every group of society imaginable” (Bournemouth Echo).
Before trying to make it in comedy, TV panel host and stand-up comedian Jimmy Carr graduated from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge with a degree in Political Science and trained as a therapist. He first made his mark on the comedy scene with a Perrier nomination in 2002, followed by a Time Out award for Best Stand-Up in 2003. After a sell out show at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe, gaining a host of 5-star reviews into the bargain, Jimmy Carr was hot property.
Carr is now known for hosting and appearing on TV panel shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, and The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year. As a stand-up, he tours relentlessly; notorious for his dark jokes and edgy one-liners, not to mention his quick witted comebacks, it’s a brave audience member who tries to take him on with a heckle.
