Alan Graham Carr (born 14 June 1976) is an English comedian, broadcaster, writer, and television personality. His breakthrough came in 2001, winning the City Life Best Newcomer of the Year and the BBC New Comedy Awards. He became known for co-hosting the comedy variety show The Friday Night Project (2006-2009) with Justin Lee Collins, which led to the short-lived Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong (2008) and the comedy chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man (2009-2017).
Carr's other television work includes serving as a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (2017-2018), judging RuPaul's Drag Race UK (2019-present), starring in the sitcom Changing Ends (2023-present), and winning the first series of The Celebrity Traitors (2025), where his prize money of £87,500 was donated to Neuroblastoma UK. From 2009 to 2012 he hosted the radio show Going Out with Alan Carr on BBC Radio 2. He has written and performed five stand-up tours: Tooth Fairy Live (2007), Spexy Beast Live (2011), Yap, Yap, Yap! (2015), Not Again, Alan! (2020-2021), and Regional Trinket (2021-2023).
Born in Weymouth, Dorset, Carr spent most of his childhood in Northampton as the elder son of Christine and Graham Carr, a former Northampton Town manager and Newcastle United chief scout. He graduated from Middlesex University with a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Drama and Theatre Studies, then moved to Manchester and worked in a call centre for five years while performing on the comedy circuit. In 2008 he released his autobiography Look Who It Is!, and he has won three British Comedy Awards, two National Television Awards, and a BAFTA TV Award.
