Gaining recognition
"Carr eventually gained recognition" - this needs to be expanded cos ur gay!, I think. I personally remember seeing this unfunny prat (if you'll excuse my opinion) for the first time doing stand-up on some variety performance, where he displayed his pitiful array of punchlines with a perfectly straight face (which is apparently hilarious?). Now, I can't quite remember which performance this was, but someone out there must know something about Carr's past before he started popping up on every damn show on Channel 4. 2 July 2005 18:01 (UTC)
- It was the Royal Variety Performance, but I can't remember which year. That was the first time I'd seen him on TV too; I laughed like a drain. :) DWaterson 21:06, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
NOOOOOOOO? UR ALL WRONG
yeah it was I still remember that show it pwned
- I disagree I find him to be a humourous entertainer
GOY BOI
Is he really Irish? He's in the category of Irish comedians, but his bio does not mention once that he's Irish. He's also not funny, but that's just my opinion.
YES - his mother and father are both Irish. That makes him Irish. He has an Irish passport.
He was born in Slough - so no, he's not Irish... And he's very funny - but thats just my opinion
Irish
He was born to Irish parents and carries an Irish passport . Looks like he wishes to be considered an Irish Citizen. Dugo 00:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
The source currently given to substantiate the claim that he is English isn't really valid, as it's taken from a short pre-written quip during a show to an American audience specifically to set up a joke, where, given the circumstances (limited amount of time he had to deliver the line combined with the ignorance of american audiences on everything) he couldn't have possibly explained that he was Irish and yet had an English accent. The source given above by Dugo is far more valid. I'm changing it.
