Jimmy Carr: The Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits World Tour
Jimmy is gathering a selection of his very best jokes along with brand new material for the ultimate comedy show.
A man who has devoted his life to crafting perfect jokes and has left a trail of laughter in his wake, Jimmy Carr’s new tour will distil everything we love to laugh at and be shocked by, into one incredible, unparalleled night of entertainment.
Jimmy Carr has been on the stand-up scene for a decade and a half. In that time he’s performed 9 sell-out tours, playing nearly 2,000 shows to over 2 million people across 4 continents including performing at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival 12 times! He’s won the British Comedy Award for ‘Best Live Stand-Up Tour’ and been nominated for the Perrier Award.
Now all that experience is being put to good use - you can see all the greatest material from his extraordinary career in one show - this is the very best of Jimmy Carr.
Jimmy Carr is an incredible performer! Its a must see for sure!
While the show started late, the venue workers were efficient on getting everyone in. Then we discovered our seats were double booked. Since we were second to get there, the venue told us to take any free seats. Sadly we ended up in some less than desirable seats. Still enjoyed the show, but annoyed at having to move after buying our tickets through Ticketmaster.
I had a wonderful time. My cousin went to the next night show in Providence and was so fortunate to meet him at the Chinese restaurant before the show. Jimmy was so very nice that he took a picture with him. Now that was so generous and kind of Jimmy!!! My cousin will never forget that experience for the rest of his life.
Jimmy Carr was HILARIOUS - such a variety of jokes with some serious commentary that ended in jokes it was all so genuinely hilarious. It takes me a lot to laugh out loud - and I was laughing the whole show. Glad to have seen him online enough to want to see him in person. I can't wait to see him again!
We saw both the early and late shows. Both were fantastic. His crowd work kicked into gear to differentiate the two performances. Don't miss this guy, brilliantly funny.
He’s a hilarious comedian. He takes questions and jokes from the audience. Some of the people in the audience got weird and upset. But he handled it with class. And it never rattled him or anybody. Definitely would see him again.
Jimmy was wonderful! Funny, rude, entertaining, sharp, and unshakeable! Minted too, by all accounts! If you haven't seen him, go and see him! If you have seen him, go again! Cheers
He was quick and hysterical, and loved putting people in their place when they shared their personal opinions a little too much. Thanks for a great show.
What a relief to listen to some good old fashioned comedy where the comic isn't afraid of what people think. Jimmy Carr isn't for everyone and certainly isn't politically correct and that's what makes for the draw. He's just saying what we all think and says the difficult part out loud and doesn't care about the fall out. And, the delivery is in such a way as to make it almost easy to hear. His interactions with the audience span the spectrum of positively caring and supportive to outright offensive and that's just what we wanted to experience. He's unafraid of any subject and can take you from busting a gut to offering sincere advise to someone reaching out and his messaging - often hidden by the brash humor - is on point and fitting to the situation. Seemingly to be a truly caring person below that stinging whit. The venue - Maine State Theater - is a classic old school theater that yeah, could maybe use a face lift and few coats of paint but it is a classic with great views and most importantly comfortable seating. The staff was great and the location was easy to get to. Not a lot of parking options adjacent to the theater but if you can walk comfortably for a half mile or so with uphill grades then there is good parking to be found. I would definitely see other events here.
I really thought his opening warm up was unique and hilarious. Reading what was on the big monitor I could imagine his voice behind the words and the whole place was laughing at what was written. It definitely warmed us all to the comedy we were waiting to see. We were getting a bit antsy before this because is was getting on to him being a half hour late! I told my son "he's very fashionably late!" By the time he came out we all laughed through the show. I did notice Jimmy standing mostly stage right though. He didn't really go beyond the center stage. I wished he had because I had a large gentleman with a big head in front of me and hardly saw Jimmy on stage, having to watch the monitor. Thank goodness for them! The heckling was perfect, his comebacks spot on, and his wisdom when needed was appreciated. All in all it was worth every cent and yeah I would do it all again. It was my first big name comedian show and not my last. A memory I won't soon forget.
We laughed so hard, our sides ached. Jimmy Carr was honest, sincere and just hilarious. His act was intelligent and reasonable. He also did his usual of letting the crowd ask questions and heckle him. No opening act, because he was on stage for approximately two hours. Great night of entertainment!
This is our second time seeing Jimmy Carr. We have been huge fans for years and seeing him in the Sacramento area is a dream! He is always on point and is so engaging with the audience! Love him! Out of the venue's control, but halfway through the set, the Wheatland waft of manure came breezing through LOL. Anytime Jimmy is in the area, we will be there!
The tickets were less than $30 each for great seats at a 3rd rate venue so it was worth the price of admission. Some of the jokes were hysterically funny and others were just lazy and not funny.
Funny, current topics, Jimmy Carr is funny, and had the audience involved from beginning to end of show
Jimmy doesn't disappoint, his humor and repartee are without parallel! The spontaneity of his come backs is truly impressive!
He works blue so be prepared. Doesn't care about being cancelled so don't be offended by anything. Lots of crowd work. Bring your questions. Try to be creative and different. Not the same political stuff. My only issue was the comfort of the seats. I saw him at the Grove in Anaheim and the seating gets uncomfortable. After an hour it gets rough on the back. Seats are narrow too. If you are between a couple of large people, you're going to get squished. The show was great and was close to 2 hours long. Highly recommend if you like irreverent humor.
Jimmy was on point with his take on current events, his audience interaction and his sharp whitted delivery. A great night out for sure.
I’ve been Jimmy’s fan for years and he did not disappoint.
I have this impression of Jimmy Carr’s being really smart and witty, and that’s what I saw on the Instagram videos. In reality, it was really basic gratuitous, just not very clever at all. I was disappointed and left halfway through.
Saw him in SF this week. Show was 2 hours long and I could not stop laughing. Jimmy Carr is Hilarious!!! Loved how he interacts with the audience. Simply amazing!!! Love the show! Love Jimmy Carr.
