Stand-up show 'Killing Jokes' by Jimmy Carr, a new hour of fast, dark one-liners, at Connexin Live in Hull.
Jimmy Carr brings his new stand-up show, Killing Jokes, to Connexin Live on Saturday 18 December 2027. It's a brand-new hour, and the title gives you a fair idea of where it's headed: fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. If you've seen him before, you know the format — short, sharp jokes delivered one after another, with very little breathing room in between.
Carr's a seasoned pro by this stage. He's performed in more than 50 countries and fronted 13 specials, so this isn't a first-timer finding his feet on stage. Those who've caught the show so far describe it as 'a brutal, hilarious, life-affirming night out', which sums up the experience pretty well: it's meant to be uncomfortable, and that's where the laughs come from.
He's also open about the territory he's working in. He warns that being offended at one of his shows is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining that you got scared — the point is the shock, and if you're not in the mood for that, this probably isn't the night for you. It's a good thing to keep in mind before you book.
