부친과 의절한 엘리트 코미디언 지미 카 - 케임브리지대 우등졸업 후 셸에서 근무하다 그곳 생활이 비참하게 느껴져 6년만에 그만두고 하고 싶었던 코미디언으로 전업해 대박 - 아로는 개인적으로 이 사람을 별로 좋아하지는 않다; 비꼬는 것은 기가 막히게 잘하지만, 지능은 그렇게 높지 않은데도 사물에 대해 다 아는척 행세해서

After earning four A grades at A-level,^[15] Carr studied social science and political science at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge,^[14] graduating with first-class honours^[16] in 1994.^[11][17] He went on to work in the marketing department at Shell, but took voluntary redundancy in January 2000 as he felt "miserable" there.^[14] He performed his first paid stand-up gig later that month, having done his debut pub show unpaid only the previous December.^[11] He said a course in neuro-linguistic programming helped him realize how his mind was working to hold him back from following his dreams of becoming a comedian.^[18]

In 2001, Carr's mother, Nora Mary, died of pancreatitis, at age 57. Following her death, Carr's relationship with his father became "severely strained". In 2004, his father was arrested and accused of harassing Carr and his brother Colin, but was cleared and won an apology from the Metropolitan Police.^[19] In 2021, Carr said he had not spoken to his father since 2000 and had not seen him in person, with the exception of an autograph signing after a gig in 2015, where they saw each other but did not speak.^[20]
