Carr to bring Rapier Wit to Apollo

THREE NIGHTS AT THE APOLLO YOU SAY? NOT A PROBLEM: Carr

AS reliable as death and taxes, but far more upbeat – one thing you can be virtually certain of come the autumn is joke meister Jimmy Carr dropping by with a brand new tour.

Following hot on the heels of Joke Technican, the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host and talking head mainstay will play three nights at the Apollo from October 23-25 on his Rapier Wit tour.

Expected to be part of the Manchester Comedy Festival 2009, Carr’s appetite for stand-up performance is something of a marvel.

Constantly on the road, but with an admirable policy of not repeating jokes once they’ve been immortalised on DVD, expect a whole raft of spiky, topical one-liners come October.

Jimmy Carr plays the Apollo from Friday, October 23 until Sunday, October 25. £22.50. On sale from Thursday, April 23. Call 08444 777 677.
