British comedian Jimmy Carr returns to Canada with his 'Laughs Funny' tour, billed as his biggest national tour ever.
Jimmy Carr is back in Halifax on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the Scotiabank Centre. He's touring Laughs Funny, which he's billing as his biggest national tour ever. It's a massive run — 31 cities across Canada, a first for an international comedian. The Halifax date is presented by Outback Presents and Chambers Touring.
If you've followed Carr's work, you know the format: he's the sole act on the bill, so it's just him and a microphone for the whole set. There's no opening act to warm up the room; he takes the stage and carries the night himself. The tour is called Laughs Funny, and that's exactly what you'll get — a full evening of stand-up from one of the most recognisable names in comedy.
The scale of the tour is the real story here. Thirty-one cities is a lot of ground to cover in one go, and it's a first for an international comedian touring Canada. It puts the Halifax stop in a wider context, as part of a run that's hitting towns and cities across the country rather than just the usual few hubs. The Scotiabank Centre, at 1800 Argyle Street, is the venue for the Halifax date.

The show runs from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm, so you're looking at two hours of stand-up. It's a Saturday night, which makes it an easy one to build a whole evening around. If you're planning to head in early, the Scotiabank Centre is right in the heart of the city, so there are plenty of spots nearby for a drink or a bite before the show starts.
