Jimmy Carr to visit Tel Aviv during World Tour
Popular stand-up comedian will perform at the Heichal Hatarbut on August 11 in what will be his first appearance in the Jewish state
Jimmy Carr is set to bring his deadpan humour to Tel Aviv for the first time.
The popular stand-up comedian and television host is stopping in Israel’s cultural capital at Heichal Hatarbut on August 11, as part of his Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits World Tour.
Spanning four continents, the 45-year-old’s performances also include visits to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Canada and South Africa.
While this marks Carr’s first appearance in Tel Aviv, he has visited the Jewish state before.
The 8 out of 10 Cats host revealed in 2014 at a charity dinner for Magen Dovid Adom that he once spent two months on a kibbutz in the 1990s.
