‘Devastating, tasteless two-liners that are bliss to listen to… Carr’s persona is irresistible and his wisecracks have you quivering with satisfaction’ Guardian


One of the most original and distinctive stars on television, radio and the stage, Jimmy has enjoyed several hugely successful years; this year being no exception. In addition to his much applauded appearances on our screens, his fourth live stand-up DVD, In Concert, topped the charts over Christmas and his sell out 200 date tour, Joke Technician, is still going strong.

Launching this August, the Rapier Wit tour will feature 120 minutes of fresh, uncensored material, completely updated from that seen in any of his previous performances and DVD releases.

A true masterclass in comedy, no one writes sharper jokes or commands the audience better than Jimmy. With his machine gun fast delivery, he walks a fine line with truly outrageous gags all successfully carried off by crediting his audience with enough intelligence to be in on the joke and able to keep up. To quote Jimmy, ‘a woman came up to me last year after a show and said “that was disgusting, puerile – no better than last year.” I guess some people just like being offended.’

Over the past few years, Jimmy has deservedly earned his place amongst the premiere league of British comics.  His stand-up achievements to date include a British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand Up Tour, a Loaded LAFTA Award for Best Stand Up, a Perrier Award nomination, Best Stand Up at the Time Out Awards and Best on Screen Newcomer from the Royal Television Society. By December this year, Jimmy will have performed his stand-up tour shows to over one million people in the UK.

“The way he integrates the crowd into the show is awe-inspiring” The Times

“Actually deserves the tag genius” The Sun
