Comedy Superstar Returns to Nelson
Get ready, Nelson – one of the sharpest tongues in comedy is heading back our way.
British stand-up icon Jimmy Carr is set to light up the Trafalgar Centre on Tuesday 13 January 2026 with his lightning-fast wit, savage punchlines, and legendary deadpan delivery.
Update: Second Show Added Due to Demand
Update 19/06/2025: A second Nelson show has just been announced — same night, new time. Jimmy will now also perform a 9:30pm late show following his 7pm earlier show. Tickets are on sale now via the promoter’s website. Don’t hang about — these will sell just as fast.
New Tour, New Jokes, Same Signature Style
Jimmy’s bringing his brand-new tour Laughs Funny to town, packed with fresh material. If you’ve seen his Netflix special Natural Born Killer, no worries — this one’s completely different. New jokes, new energy, same brutally brilliant comedy.
Don’t forget: Bill Bailey is also coming to Nelson for his NZ 2025 Tour
Not for the Faint-Hearted
Known for his razor-sharp one-liners and dark sense of humour, Jimmy’s shows aren’t for the easily offended. But if you love your laughs bold and unapologetic, you’re in for an unforgettable night.
“We’re thrilled to host Jimmy Carr in Nelson,” said Mark Mekalick, Venues Manager at the Trafalgar Centre. “This is an incredible opportunity for comedy lovers to experience a world-class performer right here in our city.”
Nelson Gets the Good Stuff
This isn’t Jimmy’s first time in Nelson — and last time, tickets vanished faster than you can say “punchline.” With just one night and now two shows, demand will still be sky-high. Jimmy Carr in Nelson is a hot ticket, and one you don’t want to miss.
