Key takeaways

  • Jimmy Carr will perform in Lisbon on 24 March 2027 and Porto on 25 March 2027
  • Shows are part of his new world tour, Laughs Funny
  • Follows eight previously sold-out shows by Carr in Portugal
  • Set runs about 90 minutes with new material and no interval

British comedian Jimmy Carr is returning to Portugal in March 2027 with his new world tour, Laughs Funny, following eight sold-out shows in the country in recent years. He will perform at Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon on 24 March and at Coliseu Porto Ageas the next night, 25 March.

What to expect

Known for his rapid-fire one-liners and dark, unfiltered humour, Carr’s new show is expected to follow his usual style: fast-paced material with little regard for easily offended audiences. The set runs around 90 minutes with no interval.

The tour features entirely new material and comes on the heels of his previous outing, Terribly Funny 2.0, which sold more than 1.2 million tickets worldwide. Laughs Funny has already toured through the United States, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and several other European countries before its stop in Portugal.

Why it matters for residents

For English-speaking residents and expats, major international comedy acts touring Portugal in English are relatively rare, making events like this a notable addition to the country’s cultural calendar. Carr’s repeated sell-out runs suggest a solid, English-speaking audience base has developed in Lisbon and Porto over the years.

Both venues, Coliseu dos Recreios and Coliseu Porto Ageas, are well-established, centrally located theatres that regularly host large international acts, meaning tickets are likely to move quickly given past demand. Anyone interested in attending should keep an eye on official ticketing channels as the March 2027 dates approach.
