Jimmy Carr

Comedy / Stand-up

Season: Jul 2026

Jimmy Carr is one of the most prolific and decorated stand-up comedians working today, with a career spanning more than two decades and a catalog of Netflix specials, BBC panel show appearances, and sold-out arena tours across the United Kingdom, North America, and Australia. Known for his mathematically precise joke construction, rapid-fire delivery, and willingness to push into material that other comedians would never attempt, Carr has built a devoted global audience on the premise that comedy is more honest than polite conversation — and that the best jokes are the ones that make people uncomfortable before they can stop themselves laughing. His 'Laughs Funny' tour, which brings him to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for performances on July 10 and 11, 2026, represents his most recent full production: a tightly structured, relentlessly funny set built around the kind of dense, high-concept joke architecture that has made him a fixture on comedy best-of lists worldwide. Carr has released over fifteen stand-up specials on Netflix and Channel 4, written multiple books on the theory and psychology of comedy including 'The Naked Jester,' and hosted numerous television formats including '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' and 'Taskmaster.' His Las Vegas appearances consistently sell out to audiences who arrive knowing exactly what to expect — and leave having laughed harder than they anticipated. The Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas provides the intimate setting that Carr's precision comedy demands, with sightlines and acoustics that allow his timing to land cleanly without the diffusion of larger venues.
