A POPULAR stand-up comedian is set to bring his new stand-up tour to York - with two shows scheduled on the same day.
Jimmy Carr will perform his show Killing Jokes at York Barbican on December 16, 2027, with shows scheduled for 7pm and 9.30pm.
The show promises Carr’s signature dark humour, fast one-liners, and no-holds-barred jokes about “all kinds of terrible things.”

A spokesperson for the tour said: "In comedy, 'killing' is a good thing. Everywhere else, it's frowned upon. Jimmy has confirmed kills in over 50 countries and on 13 specials. Eyewitnesses describe it as 'a brutal, hilarious, life affirming night out'.
"If you think you'd be offended, then stay away. At this point, being offended at a Jimmy Carr show is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining you got scared. Don’t be a dummy."
Jimmy Carr is one of the UK’s best-known comedians, with a career spanning stand-up, TV, and film - with the comic previously having hosted Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and Big Fat Quiz.
He has also performed to sold-out audiences in more than 50 countries and recently broke international touring records with his shows Terribly Funny and Laughs Funny.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on October 23 via www.yorkbarbican.co.uk.
