Welcome back to Run with Mo as I welcome my second guest of the series, the king of quick wit and dark humour, Jimmy Carr!
Jimmy Carr is a renowned comedian, presenter, and one of the most recognisable faces in British comedy. Known for his razor-sharp wit, deadpan delivery, and unmistakable laugh, Jimmy has entertained audiences worldwide with his boundary-pushing humour and quick-fire one-liners. As the host of hit TV shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and I Literally Just Told You, he’s become a household name, celebrated for his impeccable timing and crowd interaction. With a career spanning two decades, numerous sell-out tours, and a loyal fanbase, Jimmy Carr continues to be a dominant force in the world of comedy and entertainment.
In this episode I find out what first attracted Jimmy to comedy, how he balances exercise when on tour, what's next for him in his career and one thing that he can't live without...
Jimmy is on tour with his brand-new show Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny. For tickets and info visit jimmycarr.com
Sit back and enjoy this episode, I've got plenty more coming your way over the next few months!
