Jimmy Carr

One of the most original and distinctive new stars on television, Jimmy was a recent guest presenter on the current series of ‘Have I Got News For You’ (BBC2). Also, as the face of comedy on Channel 4, Jimmy hosted the new prime time game show ‘Distraction’, and co-hosted both series of its hugely successful hit game show ‘Your Face Or Mine’. In 2003 Jimmy could also be seen presenting Channel 4’s ‘100 Worst Pop Records’, following his other appearances as host of ‘100 Worst Britons’ and ‘100 Scary Moments’.

2003 was a remarkable year for Jimmy’s live work: following the Perrier nomination for his debut show ‘Bare Faced Ambition’ at the Edinburgh Festival 2002 and a Time Out Award for Best Stand-Up, Jimmy returned to the Edinburgh Festival with his new show, ‘Charm Offensive’, where the entire month's performances sold out by the second day of the festival. Its two week run at London’s Soho Theatre was also a sell-out hit, and Jimmy received rave reviews for the show, including 5* reviews from four major newspapers.
