Jimmy Carr has announced a 2024 and 2025 stand-up tour.
Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will see the comic playing arenas in cities including Glasgow, Cardiff, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester and London.
The blurb explains: "Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets. Jokes attract some people, but they can also repel. Some people are repelled by Jimmy's dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them. But if it's the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you'll like.
"A household name in the UK and one of the biggest selling comedians in the world, Jimmy consistently performs to capacity crowds around the globe. His last tour, Terribly Funny, sold over one million tickets internationally and was performed in 50 different countries. Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will extend his reach even further and mark the first time this record-breaking comedian has toured in arenas in the UK and Ireland."
Tickets are on sale from Friday from sites including Ticketmaster
In many of the non-arena venues, Carr will perform twice in an evening, once at 7pm and again at 9:30pm. These shows will be 90 minutes with no interval. The 8pm arena shows meanwhile will be 2 hours 20 minutes including an interval and special guests. A full list of dates are below.
