Jimmy Car returns to Regent Theatre in Hanley

Feb 3 2010 by Will Harris, Crewe Chronicle

AWARD-WINNING comedian Jimmy Carr makes a welcome return to the Regent Theatre in Hanley next week with his latest tour Rapier Wit.

Sharp-witted and sharp-suited, Carr is back on the road, following last year’s Joke Technician tour and the hugely popular Repeat Offender tour. He is currently hosting another series of irreverent current affairs panel show 8 Out Of 10 Cats on Channel 4.

He has previously been a guest presenter on Have I Got News For You and appeared at The Royal Variety Performance last year.

He has won awards, released chart-topping DVDs, written a best-selling book and broken box office records by performing to more than 500,000 people in the past three years.

Carr also became the first major comedian to perform within the online world of Second Life.

A tour spokesman says: “It’s rude, crude and offensive – but those aren’t the only reasons you’ll enjoy it.

“He may be the hardest working man in comedy. But perhaps he wouldn’t have to be if he had a little bit more talent!”

The show starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, February 13. Tickets are £22.50, to book phone the box office on 0844 871 7649 or visit www.ambassadortickets.com.
