EICC Hosts Six Shows Featuring Display of Affection in Expanded Venue Capacity

In 2004, following the success of his hit TV show 'Distraction', comedian Jimmy Carr embarked on his 'Public Display of Affection' tour. This tour marked a significant milestone in Carr's career as it necessitated a larger venue to accommodate his growing popularity. He performed six shows at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), which boasted a seating capacity of 1,200 at that time. The tour showcased Carr's unique brand of humor, characterized by sharp wit and engaging storytelling, further solidifying his status as one of the UK's leading stand-up comedians. The EICC provided an ideal setting for Carr's performances, allowing fans to experience his comedic genius in an intimate yet spacious environment. The success of the 'Public Display of Affection' tour laid the groundwork for Carr's subsequent shows, including his return to the EICC in 2005 with all new material for the 'Off The Telly' tour, where he performed eight shows. This trajectory highlights Carr's ability to consistently deliver fresh content while expanding his audience reach.
