Jimmy Carr is bringing his brand-new stand-up show to Knoxville, with the British comedian set to perform at the Tennessee Theatre on October 8, 2027. The show, called Killing Jokes, is described as all new material, and tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, October 23, at 10 a.m.
New Material, Familiar Face
According to Carr's official tour site, Killing Jokes marks a fresh set from the comedian, who has built a reputation performing stand-up to crowds across the world, per WVLT. The Knoxville stop is one leg of a run through the Volunteer State, with the same site listing the Tennessee Theatre as a tour date.
Fans hoping to catch the show have a couple of options before general sale opens. The official site notes that mailing-list members can access presale tickets starting at 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, October 21. Those details line up with reporting from consequence.net, which describes an artist presale running the same day and time, followed by a separate Live Nation presale for select dates on Thursday, October 22, at 10 a.m. local time.
Memphis and Nashville Also on the Itinerary
Knoxville isn't the only Tennessee city getting a visit. Per consequence.net, Carr is also scheduled to perform at Graceland Live in Memphis on September 23, 2027, and at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on October 9, 2027 — just a day after the Knoxville show.
That back-to-back scheduling gives Tennessee three chances to catch the new set within about two and a half weeks. General-public tickets for the tour, including the Knoxville date, are set to go on sale Friday, October 23, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster and Carr's website, according to consequence.net.
