JImmY cARRLAuGHTER THERAPY
Since the turn of the century Jimmy has been a ‘fun slinger’ of international repute.
Laughter Therapy is his ninth solo show. It’ll be an evening of none stop jokes, gags and banter. If you’ve got a sick sense of humour then maybe laughter is the best medicine.
Not to be taken if you have a sensitive disposition or an overactive moral compass. Recommended dose: one brand new show to be taken annually (I said annually).
