Get ready to swallow a jagged pill of truth because the "Clown in a Gown" is back and meaner than ever. Bianca Del Rio returns to the global stage with her seventh solo stand-up tour, "It Gets Bitter". This milestone trek isn't just another night of comedy; it’s a celebration of 30 years of professional drag excellence and three decades of Bianca absolutely hating everything you stand for.

Expect a masterclass in vitriol as the RuPaul’s Drag Race winner turns her razor-sharp tongue toward the absolute absurdity of modern life. From the vapid landscape of pop culture to the chaotic state of world events, and—most importantly—the mundane things people do every day that drive her to the brink, no topic is off-limits and no ego is too big to be deflated.

A Stern Warning: If you are sensitive, easily offended, or possess a fragile sense of self-worth, do not select seats near the stage. In classic Bianca fashion, the front row is a firing squad, and no one is safe from her legendary biting insults and lightning-fast wit.

She’s seasoned, she’s legendary, and she’s officially exhausted by your nonsense. The old saying is "It gets better", but Bianca is proof that after 30 years in tights "It Gets Bitter"!!

In comedy, 'killing' is a good thing. Everywhere else, it's frowned upon.

Jimmy has confirmed kills in over 50 countries and on 13 specials. Eyewitnesses describe it as 'a brutal, hilarious, life affirming night out’.

The brand-new show is packed with fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. But they are just jokes. They're not the terrible things.

Jokes are like magnets. They attract some people and repel others. You can joke about anything, but not with anyone. If you’re attracted to Jimmy's brand of comedy and think you can take the jokes, then by all means come out and play.

If you think you'd be offended, then stay away. At this point, being offended at a Jimmy Carr show is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining you got scared. Don’t be a dummy.

Look, if you’ve read this far, we know you want to come. So hurry up and buy a ticket. It’ll sell out, so don’t miss out.
