'Terribly funny' comedian Jimmy Carr heading to Hastings

Acclaimed British comedian Jimmy Carr will bring his Terribly Funny tour to Hastings next year.

According to its promoter, the show features jokes about "all kinds of terrible things".

"Jimmy will be telling jokes to an adult paying audience who've got a good idea what's in store.

"But they're just jokes - they are not the terrible things. Jokes are little lies. Nothing more than wonderful, funny, joyful tricks, constructed from language."

Carr has performed 2500-plus shows to more than 2.5 million people, winning the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-Up in 2006.
