Jimmy Carr — one of the most original, distinctive and controversial stars of UK television, radio and stage — has announced his first Australian tour.
Over the past 10 years, Carr has won a British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand Up Tour, a Loaded LAFTA Award for Best Stand-Up and a Perrier Award nomination. He's twice appeared in the Royal Variety Performance, and he's been a regular guest on just about every UK panel and quiz show worth watching, including QI, Have I Got News For You and The Graham Norton Show. He's also filmed two Comedy Central specials in the US. Earlier this year, he performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival for the ninth time.
He promises his new show, Gagging Order, will be packed with one-liners, stories and jokes — some clever, some rude and a few totally unacceptable. Everybody's welcome. Just leave your conscience, sense of common decency and moral compass at home and come on out for a laugh.
