Charlottetown welcomes global comedy superstar Jimmy Carr back to Canada with his brand-new show, Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny — now with a second show added. Catch him live at the Confederation Centre of the Arts on November 20 with performances at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM.

Known worldwide for his lightning-quick wit, dark one-liners, and unmistakable laugh, Jimmy Carr remains one of the most successful and best-selling comedians of all time. He has performed in over 40 countries, sold millions of tickets, and is consistently one of the most streamed stand-ups of the last decade. His most recent tour, Terribly Funny 2.0, broke major touring records — selling over one million tickets and playing 293 shows across 145 cities in a single year. 

Following his sold-out Canadian dates in 2023, Jimmy now returns with his fifth and most ambitious Canadian tour yet. Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will reach more cities across the country than ever before, and Charlottetown is one of the select Atlantic Canada stops on this coast-to-coast run. 

About the “Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny” Tour
If you like fast-paced, edgy one-liners, then get ready to be happy. Jimmy Carr returns with Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny, a brand-new hour packed with sharp jokes and even sharper punchlines. Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets—they attract some people and repel others. Some are repelled by Jimmy’s dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them. But if it is your thing… then this is absolutely your show.
