Jimmy Carr has officially become the most subscribed UK comedian on YouTube, surpassing 1.5 million subscribers on his official channel. The milestone crowns Carr as the leading UK comedy presence on the platform, with the channel also generating over 400 million views in the past year alone. Operated by Banijay Rights, the global distribution arm of Banijay Entertainment, since July 2023, the Jimmy Carr YouTube channel features a curated mix of stand-up clips, television appearances, and podcast moments, with fresh content uploaded daily.
Shaun Keeble, VP Digital at Banijay Rights, commented on the achievement: “To see Jimmy Carr’s channel reach this incredible milestone is thrilling for all of us at Banijay Rights and truly reflects the strength of our partnership with both Jimmy and Chambers Management. With a growing roster of top-tier and emerging comedians, we’re proud to be leading the expansion of comedy entertainment onto YouTube and in the digital space.”
The channel's rapid growth comes after crossing the 1 million subscriber mark in July 2024. A key driver of this surge has been the introduction of new content formats such as "Jimmy Carr’s Heckle Amnesties"—a series showcasing original material from Carr's live performances, developed in collaboration with Chambers Management.
Carr, one of the highest-grossing comedy acts worldwide, will continue to build on this momentum with his upcoming arena tour "Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny," launching in December 2025. The tour will include major venues such as the OVO Arena Wembley and The O2 in London, with tickets available via jimmycarr.com.
