JIMMY Carr makes a speedy return the Grand Opera House in York on Sunday night only a month after his September 25 gig there.

The host of Channel 4's panel game 8 Out Of 10 Cats will be presenting his compendium of Carr comedy: Jimmy Carr: The Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits Tour.

For this tour Carr has gathered "a selection of his very best jokes along with brand new material for the ultimate comedy show" by a man who has "devoted his life to crafting perfect jokes and has left a trail of laughter in his wake".

"Jimmy Carr’s new tour will distil everything we love to laugh at and be shocked by, into one incredible, unparalleled night of entertainment," his tour publicity proclaims.

In his decade and a half on the stand-up circuit Carr has performed nine sell-out tours and played nigh on 2,000 shows to more than two million people across four continents.

Tickets for Carr's 8pm gig cost £28.75 on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york
