Birmingham NEC was the venue for 14,000 people to Rock With Laughter in December 2011, two nights of music and comedy (16th and 17th). So far as I can tell this wasn’t a charity gig and the RockWithLaughter.com website is now defunct.
In 2011 Jimmy was on his Laughter Therapy tour.
Tickets were between £22.50 and £32.50.
In no particular order the artists were:
- Graham Norton – Host
- Sarah Millican
- Jimmy Carr – pic on Facebook and Bing
- Dara O’Briain
- 10cc
- Gabrielle
- Marti Pellow
There are a couple of review stories online but none are clear as to which night they are referring to.
Shropshire Star said Jimmy was the last comedian to perform and got the biggest cheer. Which doesn’t quite fit in with this Set List performance order.
Birmingham Mail said that Jimmy stole the comedy crown of the night (I think they were reviewing the 17th).
Sarah posted a pic of her with Dara, Jimmy and Graham – after being presented with a British Comedy Award – here.
Jimmy had previously been involved with RWL in 2006 – here.
