Jimmy Carr Biography

Jimmy Carr is a British-Irish stand-up comedian, television presenter, and writer recognized for his deadpan delivery, dark one-liners, and quick-fire crowd work. Carr established his career on the live comedy circuit before becoming a prominent figure on UK television, with work spanning arena tours, comedy specials, and high-profile panel shows.

Carr is widely known as the host of the panel show "8 Out of 10 Cats" and its spin-off "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown," where his sharp wit and improvisational skills anchor ensembles of comedians and celebrity guests. He has led various comedy formats and specials and is a familiar presence on British and international streaming platforms through stand-up releases such as "Funny Business," "His Dark Material," and other hour-long specials. Carr's approach to stand-up, marked by high joke density and interactive crowd work, has established him as a consistent live performer in the comedy industry.

In addition to television, Carr has toured extensively across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and internationally, presenting shows built around tightly written, provocative material. He has released multiple stand-up DVDs and streaming specials, and his tours often extend over long runs. Carr is also the author of the book "The Naked Jape," co-written with Lucy Greeves, which examines the history and mechanics of jokes, reflecting his analytical approach to comedy writing.

Carr has discussed leaving a corporate career to pursue stand-up comedy and has addressed personal challenges, including public scrutiny over elements of his material and tax arrangements. In interviews and on stage, he addresses these topics with candor and self-deprecating humor, using them to engage with questions of offense, responsibility, and free expression in comedy. Carr's enduring presence on television, continued success on tour, and willingness to examine both comedic technique and public reaction have positioned him as a notable figure in stand-up comedy and television entertainment.
