Strictly 16+ only
An extra date has been added to the incredibly popular Just The Tonic Jimmy Carr shows at Comedy In A Field, Bottesford (near Nottingham), Bottesford
Jimmy Carr: Terribly Funny - Jimmy’s brand new show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things.
Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love.
But they’re just jokes - they are not the terrible things.
Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.

Several options were considered, including creating a number of timed sessions to limit capacity to 25,000 people, or extending the length of the fair to ten days. However, neither of these options came close to providing capacity for the more than 400,000 visitors who would normally attend...
