There is a chance you may spot one of the UK's top comedians in Ipswich this week. 

Jimmy Carr is performing two shows at Ipswich Regent Theatre on Saturday, June 1 with performances at 7pm and 9.30pm. 

It is the continuation of his Laughs Funny tour taking place in venues across the country in 2024 and 2025 including a headline show at The O2 in December. 

It is the first time the household name has toured arenas in the UK and Ireland and follows his previous Terribly Funny 2.0 tour, which came to Ipswich in October 2023.
