Award-winning comedian, writer and television host Jimmy Carr has become the most subscribed UK comedian on YouTube as his official channel surpasses 1.5 million subscribers.

One of the biggest selling comedy acts in the world, Jimmy consistently performs to capacity crowds, and his YouTube channel has seen significant growth after reaching 1 million subscribers in July 2024. New content strands such as Jimmy Carr’s Heckle Amnesties, featuring original content from his live shows compiled in collaboration with Chambers Management, have driven engagement and subscriber numbers with the channel amassing over 400 million views in the last year. Hitting the 1.5 million milestone secures Carr the top spot among UK comedians on the platform.
