You'll need to get your skates on if you want tickets for the Jimmy Carr show at the Winter Gardens on Sunday (Nov 1).

In the words of the top comic himself: "This show is exactly the same as last year's except every single word.

"It's rude, crude and offensive, but those aren't the only reasons you'll enjoy it. Not for the faint-hearted (the faint-hearted should also avoid salt)."

Hurry if you want more of his quirky style of humour as the show is almost sold out. The box office number is 0845 3899938. Tickets are £22.50 and the show starts at 7.30pm.
