Banijay Rights is claiming that Jimmy Carr has become the most subscribed UK comedian on YouTube with his official channel surpassing 1.5 million subscribers.
One of the biggest selling comedy acts in the world, Carr’s YouTube channel has seen significant growth after passing the 1 million subscriber mark in July 2024.
New content strands such as Jimmy Carr’s Heckle Amnesties, featuring original content from his live shows compiled in collaboration with Chambers Management, have driven engagement and subscriber numbers with the channel amassing over 400 million views in the last year.
The Jimmy Carr YouTube channel has been operated by Banijay Rights since July 2023. The channel showcases the best clips from Jimmy’s stand-up comedy shows, TV appearances, and podcasts with new video content posted daily.
Shaun Keeble, VP digital, Banijay Rights, said: “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.”
Carr’s live tour Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny arrives in major arenas in December 2025, including performances in the OVO Arena, Wembley and The O2. The channel is seen as a key tool in driving ticket sales for such events.
