Born in 1972, Carr turned to comedy in 2000 following acceptance of voluntary redundancy from his marketing role. Boasting a strong education, including graduating with first class honours from the prestigious University of Cambridge, Carr turned his attention to stand-up, cementing his characteristic blend of dark and intelligent humour. His first paid gig took place after just one unpaid venture a month prior.
Two years later, Carr secured a nomination for the coveted Perrier Award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe for his aptly titled Bare Faced Ambition show. In 2003 he returned to the Scottish capital for a sold-out month-long run, presenting his Charm Offensive show. By the end of the decade, Carr had secured the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand Up, been declared by The Observer as one of Britain's funniest acts, and came 12th in a readers poll of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. His touring schedule proved equally as prolific, regularly performing across the UK and garnering attention that would launch his concurrent TV career.
In 2016, Carr was the first UK stand-up comedian to record a Netflix special. Filmed at London's Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, Funny Business was released on the streaming service that same year. Carr followed this up with his second special, The Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits in 2019 – recorded at Dublin's Olympia Theatre.
In 2019, Jimmy Carr launched his Terribly Funny tour, running throughout 2021 and into 2022. There are still some shows left to play, tickets available at the same link below.
Laughs Funny marks the first time the comedian had toured in arenas in the UK and Ireland.
