ENSEMBLE ARTS PHILLY, IN ASSOCIATION WITH LIVE NATION, PRESENTS BRITISH COMEDY STAR,
JIMMY CARR,
 WITH HIS LAUGHS FUNNY TOUR
AT THE MILLER THEATER,
NOVEMBER 6, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (October 2, 2025) – Ensemble Arts Philly, in association with Live Nation, is thrilled to present the witty comedy of Jimmy Carr in his Laughs Funny tour at the Miller Theater on November 6, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. After an immensely successful sold-out Philadelphia show in June, Jimmy Carr is returning with his Laughs Funny tour to ignite laughter in the Miller Theater once again.

With over 25 years of comedy under his belt, Jimmy Carr has become one of the best-selling comedy acts in the world. Known for his dark humor, dry wit, one-liners, and, of course, his distinctive laugh, the Laughs Funny tour brings all that and more to the stage!

“Jimmy Carr's return to Philadelphia after his sold-out performance in June reflects the tremendous audience demand," said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations. "His distinctive use of dark humor and masterful audience interaction makes this encore performance a night of boundary-pushing comedy that Philly won’t want to miss.”

Carr is a household name in UK television, known for hosting Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and Big Fat Quiz of the Year, in addition to presenting Comedy Central’s Roast Battle UK and Your Face or Mine. He was the first UK comedian to sign a stand-up deal with streaming behemoth Netflix in 2015, releasing four specials on the platform: Funny Business (2016), Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits (2017), His Dark Material (2021), and Natural Born Killer (2024). He also presented and exec-produced an original panel show format for Netflix, The Fix, and has been a guest multiple times on U.S. staples such as The Tonight Show; The Late Late Show; and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

Before making the move to streaming, Carr was one of the bestselling acts in the comedy DVD market, his eight titles (Live, Stand-Up, Comedian, In Concert, Telling Jokes, Making People laugh, Being Funny, and Laughing & Joking) selling over 1.2 million copies between them.
