JIMMY Carr plays the first of three York dates on his Gagging Order tour at the Grand Opera House on Thursday.

Very few seats remain on sale, so hurry if you can’t wait until further Carr performances on December 7 and 8. The sour-faced stand-up will be firing off his latest arsenal of one-liners, stories and jokes, “some clever, some rude and a few totally unacceptable”.

Tickets for each 8pm Gagging Order gig cost £26 on 0844 871 3024 or atgtickets.com/york
