Jimmy Carr 'Laughs Funny' Tour 2026: UK, Canada, and Europe Dates
Jimmy Carr's Laughs Funny tour has 46 shows on the books, and the routing is a genuine world tour. It opens Thursday, September 3 at the Sands Centre in Carlisle, England, builds to three straight nights at the London Palladium, then crosses the Atlantic for the heart of the run: a 30-show Canadian leg that touches all ten provinces, from Rogers Arena in Vancouver to Mary Brown's Centre in St. John's. After that it's back to Europe — Italy, the Netherlands, Czechia, and Poland — with the final date currently sitting at March 18, 2027 in Warsaw.
The Canadian leg is the story here. Carr isn't just playing Toronto and Vancouver; he's routing through Kamloops, Medicine Hat, Sudbury, Brandon, Moncton, and Charlottetown — the kind of coast-to-coast itinerary Canadian comedy fans usually only get from homegrown acts. Montreal and Charlottetown each get double-show nights.

What to Expect
Laughs Funny is exactly what the name promises: a new hour of Carr's trademark one-liners — dense, dark, and delivered at a rate most comics couldn't sustain for ten minutes, let alone ninety. Anyone who's seen his Netflix specials knows the format, and the live version adds the part the specials can't fully capture: extended crowd work and heckler exchanges that are often the highlight of the night.
If you're picking a show: the London Palladium nights are the prestige tickets and the likeliest to go first. On the Canadian leg, the big-city arena dates — Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton — have the most seats, while the small-market stops like Medicine Hat, Brandon, and Charlottetown are rare enough visits that locals shouldn't count on a next time. The Montreal and Charlottetown double-show nights give you a second chance if the first show sells out.
