Comedian and TV personality, Jimmy Carr, has announced a new material show taking place at Swansea Arena on March 31, 2023. It follows his hit Netflix stand-up show 'His Dark Material'.
'Terribly Funny' promises to be "edgy, brutal and it's hilarious - if you share my sense of humour", according to Carr, although it comes with a warning that you'll hear jokes around terrible things.
In fact earlier this year, ahead of a Cardiff date for the show at St David's Hall, Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price said Carr should not be allowed to perform there after he made and failed to apologise for comments about the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller community. You can read more about that here. There were even protests outside one gig in Cambridge.
Carr is the latest act to be announced to a growing Swansea Arena list. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.

Known for his widespread appearances on UK television, the Channel 4: 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Big Fat Quiz of the Year host is a regular host and contestant on a number of top panel shows. He has also performed at the Royal Variety Performance three times.
His last tour, Best Of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits, sold over 480,000 tickets globally with current show, Terribly Funny, set to exceed that figure by the end of 2022. The globally renowned comedian has made himself a high-profile name in North America, appearing as a guest on US staples, The Tonight Show, The Late, Late Show and Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
