Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny - Grove Theatre, Dunstable
Thursday 03 October 2024
Price: £39.00
CHOICE OF TWO TIMES: 7PM & 9:30PM
AGES: 16+
Outrageous comedian known for his deadpan delivery
Famed for his award-winning stand-up and TV presenting roles, comedian Jimmy Carr celebrates an illustrious career spanning more than two decades.
Born in 1972, full name James Anthony Patrick Carr, Jimmy 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.
♿️ Accessible Seating
The venue is accessible for wheelchair users.
Wheelchair accessible point at Box Office and seating for wheelchair users and patrons with physical disabilities.
Disabled car parking available.
