Jimmy Carr.

Fast-paced comedy, edgy one-liners, and a touch of dark humour: get ready for a night with Jimmy Carr.

One of Britain’s favourite funny exports is bringing a new comedy tour to Wellington. Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will bring the comedian’s signature dark brand of humour to TSB Arena. The presenter, actor, and writer is known for his one-liners, rapid-fire delivery, and signature laugh. His content is often described as “edgy”, so be prepared for a raised eyebrow or two. Just like a magnet, it attracts some people and repels others. For those who are attracted to risqué jokes with a bit of spice, this is a show not to miss. 

Jimmy Carr has been a comedy staple for British audiences since the late 1990s. He appears as the host of ‘The Big Fat Quiz of the Year’, ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’, and ‘8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’. He has also taken part in numerous television panel shows, radio shows, and podcasts.

“A comedy hero for our times.”
