The last time Jimmy Carr deigned to bring his endlessly debauched stand-up act to Australia, we had the good fortune of quizzing him on local slang. It was an enlightening experience, and one in which we learned the British comic chose to refer to his genitals as his “rig”.
Folks, we can now say he’s bringing his rig back Down Under, thanks to a slew of Aussie dates on his Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits World Tour. It’s been billed as a collection of how bawdiest shit with a sprinkling of newies, so you know what you’re in for.
The bloke will be provoking your aunt’s delicate sensitivities all across the shop from January through March. Expect appearances across most capital cities, and a fair few in regional centres. Cop a squiz:
