UK comedy star Jimmy Carr will perform in Ballarat as part of an Australian tour early next year.<\/p>\n
The English funny man will perform at Civic Hall as he tours his Terribly Funny shows across the country from February to May.<\/p>\n
Carr has more than two decades of experience as an award-winning comedian and television presenter, who has played more than 2500 shows and 10 sell-out tours during a decorated career.<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old has become one of UK comedy’s most recognisable faces as host presenter of panel show 8 out of 10 Cats and its spinoff Countdown series, plus The Big Fat Quiz of the Year and The Big Fat Quiz of Everything.<\/p>\n
The humour heavyweight has also made a foray into streaming services in recent years, with a self-titled stand-up routine among Netflix’s most popular last year.<\/p>\n
Carr has become renowned for his deadpan delivery of controversial and sometimes dark humour that attracts both praise and criticism.<\/p>\n
“Jimmy’s show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things. Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love,” promoter Bohm Presents said.<\/p>\n
“But they’re just jokes – they are not the terrible things.<\/p>\n
“Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.”<\/p>\n
Carr will bring Terribly Funny to Ballarat on 15 and 22 February at 7.30pm<\/p>\n
