Jimmy Carr

Award-winning comedian, writer and television host Jimmy Carr is one of the biggest names in comedy.

A household name in UK television, Jimmy is known for hosting over two decades of Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Big Fat Quiz as well as the smash hit, record-breaking UK version of Last One Laughing for Amazon.

In 2025, Jimmy also launched Am I The A**hole for Comedy Central.

Considered by many to be one of the hardest working performers in comedy, Jimmy performs stand-up to sell-out crowds across the globe, bringing his shows to venues in over 50 countries.

Jimmy’s Terribly Funny tour sold well over 1.2 million tickets globally, including in the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, making it the biggest ever international stand up comedy tour.

London-born Jimmy was a straight-A student who gained a first class honours degree from Cambridge before going on to accept a marketing position with international oil firm, Shell. Discovering he wasn't made for a desk job, after two years Jimmy took the opportunity of voluntary redundancy and signed up to a course in neuro-linguistic programming, where he quickly realised how his mind was actually working to hold him back.

All within the space of a month, Jimmy had left full time employment at Shell and began performing as a stand-up comic. He performed his first paid stand-up gig later that month, having only done his first unpaid pub show the previous month.

Jimmy is a prolific writer as well as performer, having written for the likes of Ricky Gervais, Lily Savage and Frank Skinner. In 2025, Jimmy co-wrote, executive produced, and acted in the period drama comedy spoof feature film Fackham Hall.

In recent years, Jimmy has been releasing content filmed at his live shows under the enormously successful ‘Heckle Amnesty‘ strand on his YouTube channel. The content has resulted in a massive following online with 1.7 million subscribers and over one billion views, making him the most followed UK stand up comedian on the platform.
