It's set to be the biggest international comedy tour to arrive on our shores.
Due to overwhelming demand, Jimmy Carr has added a new Melbourne show on his Australian tour – on February 10 at Melbourne Hamer Hall. Beginning his comedy career in 2000 at the age of 28, he performs stand-up tours consistently over the course of the year, taking only five weeks off between tours.

Always several steps ahead of anyone who accepts his invitation to heckle, Jimmy Carr is known for his quick wit and impeccable crowd work. With a devoted fan following, he’s taking his tour all across Australia for four months of world-class comedy. Warning audiences that Terribly Funny “contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things”, it’s a show that promises to be as uncompromising in its raunchiness.
“Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo. Now you’ve been warned, enjoy the laughs.”
Jimmy Carr has been a comedian for over a decade and a half. He’s performed 10 sell-out tours, playing over 2500 shows to more than 2.5 million people. He’s won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-Up Tour, and been nominated for the Perrier Award. His most recent stand-up comedy special was the most streamed on Netflix in the UK in 2021.
