The Carr-Tell is a one-stop-shop for all things Jimmy Carr. It’s a Carr-cyclopedia. Carr-mageddon. All about Jimmy. Bordering on the obsessive in attention to detail – it’s JUST about on the right side of stalking.
Launched on March 12th 2025 it’s a celebration of all things Carr and, if you’re not sure who he is, a good place to start is the Bio page. As the blog topics grow the Bio does too – acting as a kind of dual abridged life story with resumé details.
The HOME page, btw, is a list of all posts – with the latest at the top. Sometimes with things like gig announcements prominently pinned (for a couple of days)
Menu gives you a lot of shortcut links to places that you may want to repeat visit (both within the blog and externally).
Using either the Categories listing, Search or clicking on the Tags underneath a story you will find posts grouped by topics or even by the name of a comedian / show etc. Here are some examples, to give you an idea of the blog structure:
- Stand-up and TV show posts can be found within either career history or Stand up or in TV Show. Or you can break TV shows down by country – UK TV Show or US TV Show.
- Statistics category contains all kinds of facts and figures figures and the most recent updates are highlighted on the Stats page.
- Radio or podcast interviews can be used to find interviews by Title / Year
- His awards and accolades section has an extensive list of achievements
- Heckle Amnesty lists a selection of the YouTube videos (that have been posted since the blog launch date). Or you could use the YouTube listing to find any post with a video embedded
- Anything related to touring can be found under Tour – but you can also filter by opting for a tour name, e.g. Laughs Funny or try triggering a Search for Charm Offensive
- Background on the early days can be found under Tour Locations (plus all the posts about the early gigs).
- Jimmy started out as a Warm-up comic and you can look up those posts – or use on of his other roles in TV and comedy, such as Guest, Host, Presenter, Writer
- The Music category lists anything relating to Jimmy’s love of music – or you can look at his song writing with Robbie by using the Robbie Williams tag (or via friendship, under Friends)
You get the gist…
If you want to sign up for an Email Alert – that’s all it is. Just notification of a new post being published. No payment requested, no commitment, not trying to sell you anything. The only tracking on here is to provide analytics information, which helps me see stuff like how popular different post types are and how many countries are viewing (107 to date).
Search will find you anything relating to topics by using the name of another comedian, a TV show, a keyword. Or just enter the name of your country to find any news related to upcoming tour dates.
And, for anyone who doesn’t have X, Facebook or Instagram – any new announcements of gigs, TV shows etc. will be posted so that you don’t miss out on the News (see that Announcements Category). Which countries Jimmy will be touring in the near future can be found under Tickets!
More Carr than you can shake a stick at…should you be someone that is into stick shaking!
