Career

Carr’s breakthrough came in 2001 when he won the City Life Best Newcomer of the Year and the prestigious BBC New Comedy Awards, firmly launching his comedy career.

Before his national recognition, Carr had been honing his craft on the Manchester comedy circuit, where his unique brand of observational humour and striking stage presence began to garner him a loyal following. 

This grassroots success paved the way for Carr’s big break when he was selected to co-host the popular Channel 4 entertainment program “The Friday Night Project” alongside fellow comedian Justin Lee Collins.

The show ran for four successful seasons from 2006 to 2009, significantly raising Carr’s profile and cementing his status as one of the UK’s rising comedy stars.
