Jimmy Carr is one of the most
original and distinctive new stars on television. Jimmy was recently a
guest on the current series of ‘Parkinson’ (BBC1) and ‘Bafta
Tribute to Bob Monkhouse’ (BBC1). And, as the face of comedy on
Channel 4, after the successes of ‘Your Face Or Mine’ and the
first series of the prime-time game show ‘Distraction’, he is
currently presenting the second series of ‘Distraction’, which
started on Channel 4 on 16th April 2004. Jimmy was a recent guest
presenter on ‘Have I Got News For You’ (BBC2) & appeared for
the second time on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' (BBC2) and ‘QI’
(BBC2), alongside several presenting roles on Channel 4 shows such as
‘100 Worst Pop Records’, ‘100 Worst Britons’ and ‘100
Scary Moments’.
2004 was a
remarkably successful year for Jimmy’s live work. In 2003 he sold out
an entire month’s performances of his Edinburgh Festival show ‘Charm
Offensive’ by the second day of the festival, and received 5* reviews
from four major newspapers. In 2004 he performed sold out solo shows
at Dublin’s Vicar Street, & the Leicester Comedy Festival, can also
soon be seen at the Glasgow Festival, Kilkenny Festival and the Galway
Festival along with appearances at The Bloomsbury Theatre, London
where he filmed his first live DVD.
‘The brightest British comic hope for
a long, long while…The most deliciously transgressive comic…He is not
so much pushing out the boundaries as sailing in uncharted
waters…Superb.’ Irish Times
‘A masterclass in comedy…devastating, tasteless two-liners that are
bliss to listen to…Carr’s persona is irresistible, and his wisecracks
have you quivering with satisfaction’ Guardian
‘Witty, surprising, different, and clearly a new onscreen presenter
for the future.’ Kirsty Young, Presenter, RTS Awards 2003
