Jimmy Carr

added 02 July 2003 at 05.29

The award-winning stand up comic delivers Sunday morning laughs and top music. Writer and performer Jimmy Carr won Time Out’s Best Stand-Up award in 2002 and the Best On-Screen Newcomer in the 2003 Royal Television Society Awards and now brings his quick thinking, sharp repartee and deadpan one-liners to the airwaves.

Following a tradition set by Xfm when we employed Ricky Gervais, Xfm is proud to present the mighty Jimmy Carr, star of stage, screen and every '100 Best...' show on Channel 4, who is live on air, exclusively for us every single weekend. Ably joined by his sidekick, TV writer Iain Morris, this has to be one of the greatest shows on radio right now.  And we're not just saying that cos we want a free 'Jimmy Carr - Live' DVD. On no.

• Plus we're giving away tickets for Duran Duran's Earls Court concert on December 22. Get in.

Now That's What I Call A... Jukebox

Admit it. We're all guilty of owning one of these albums at some point. Jimmy and Iain go to 'Now Thats..' back catalogue and pick a random album. They then choose three tracks off the chosen collection. Tune in to hear which three tracks and then vote for the tune you want to hear. Text Jimmy and Iain the name of the track you would like to hear and Jimmy and Iain will make it so. Warning - one track out of the three is guaranteed to be a stinker so choose carefully. 

 
Troubleshooting With Jimmy And Iain

Jimmy and Iain take time out of the show to sort out your problems, no matter how big or small. So far they've given advice on waking up with a stranger, how to dump someone on Valentine's Day and coping with your parents visiting for Sunday lunch when you're hungover. E-mail your problem in to the studio using the form below then listen to their advice. And it's all free.

E-mail Jimmy

Want to ask Jimmy a question? Maybe you've got a really good joke you can send him, so that he can steal it, put it in his stand-up routine and never credit? Or perhaps you'd just like to hear a song. Boring. Anyway, just fill in the form below to send your message.
