About Jimmy Carr
Jimmy Carr came to comedy by way of an office job. After graduating from Cambridge with a degree in social and political sciences, he worked in marketing at Shell, left in early 2000, and played his first paid stand-up gig that January.
His act is built on short, deadpan jokes, often dark, delivered one after another with barely a pause. It won him the British Comedy Award for best live stand-up in 2006 and has carried him through tours like Gag Reflex, Rapier Wit, Laughter Therapy and Terribly Funny.
British TV kept him busy at the same time. He hosted the Channel 4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats from 2005 to 2021, has fronted its spinoff 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown since 2012, and has presented The Big Fat Quiz of the Year since 2004. He also hosted the Channel 4 quiz show I Literally Just Told You.
His Netflix specials include Funny Business (2016), The Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits (2019), His Dark Material (2021) and Natural Born Killer (2024). He has written books too, The Naked Jape (2006), a look at how jokes work, and Before & Laughter (2021).
