Jimmy Carr
8 Out of 10 Cats
Continuing to host 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown (and its conventional comedy panel show forebear) as well as assorted Big Fat Quizzes Jimmy remains one of the best known comedians in the country. Since opting out of a career in marketing, he's sold over a million DVDs, toured relentlessly, and was the first British comic to film a special for Netflix.
Biography
Jimmy Carr is Channel 4’s face of comedy and one of the most distinctive talents on television.
Jimmy fronts the topical panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats and its Countdown-based spin-off. He’s also served as one of the presenters of the weekly satire 10 O’Clock Live and fronted the prime-time game show Distraction, The Friday Night Project, various incarnations of Big Fat Quizzes, and Your Face Or Mine.
A quarter-life crisis prompted Jimmy to quit marketing and train as a psychotherapist before taking to the comedy circuit. Described as England's answer to Emo Phillips, his lovingly crafted material deconstructs modern living and produces more one-liners per minute than should be humanly possible.
Jimmy has guest presented Have I Got News For You, is a regular QI panellist, and frequently appears on a bewildering range of panel shows and list programmes. In the US, he’s taken to the late night chat shows with appearances on Tonight With Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Away from TV, Jimmy was the first comedian to perform a gig online on Second Life and was the first Brit to get his own Netflix special. He is consistently one of the UK’s top live comedy draws touring almost every year and his live DVDs have regularly been bestsellers. He’s even toured with the band The Killers.
Jimmy has appeared in the films Confetti, Storm Breaker, and Telstar, and is also the proud author of a history of jokes, The Naked Jape.
“Guests couldn't believe their luck when they heard Jimmy was host.”
As brilliant as ever – going to be a struggle to find someone as good next year!
Jimmy was outstanding, best comedy performance we have experienced in 9 years. Excellent when he was announced, a real roar of approval. A little muted when he was performing, but that’s our audience not Jimmy and as a result his professionalism kicked in and he tried even harder to win them over and gave us much more in terms of time. Excellent round of applause too.
Jimmy Carr was a great mc for the event and dedicated time to meeting our client before the event. Audience reaction was very positive.
Jimmy Carr really is brilliant and completely adaptable for different audiences.
Jimmy was the consumate professional. We used him as a comedian and as our MC on what was a very busy evening.
You could be forgiven for thinking that he wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but he worked our mixed audience very well and had everybody laughing, young and old alike.
