Jimmy Carr brings his new stand-up show 'Killing Jokes', all new material, to Vaillant Live in Derby.
Jimmy Carr brings his Killing Jokes tour to Vaillant Live on Friday 29 October 2027, with both an early and a late show on the night. It's billed as a brand new live show, all new material and packed with fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. If you're familiar with his style, that's exactly what you're getting: the quick-fire, uncompromising delivery he's known for, rather than a long-form story or a conceptual piece.
Carr has spent the last decade cementing his place among the top British comics. He's hosted 14 series of 8 Out Of 10 Cats and starred in 10 O'Clock Live, while becoming a regular on top TV comedy shows—a presence that's earned him the nickname 'the hardest working man in comedy'. He's performed his live stand-up tours to more than 2 million people across four continents, and his DVDs have sold over 1.2 million copies. The industry has taken note too: he's picked up a British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand Up Tour and a Loaded LAFTA Award for Best Stand-Up, and he's been nominated for a Perrier Award.

Critics have described him as 'a comedy hero for our times' (The Guardian) and 'a world-class comedian' (The Independent). Killing Jokes is the latest chapter in that, and since it's all new material, it's a good chance to catch him with a fresh set. The show runs at Vaillant Live, 2 Colyear Street, Derby DE1 1LA, on Friday 29 October 2027, with an early show and a late show to choose from.
