Alan cracks US: I like to be in Ameri-Carr
CAMP comedian Alan Carr is finally going to have a stab at breaking the USA.

USA: Comedian Alan Carr is doing a string of stand-up gigs in 2016
He is doing a string of stand-up gigs in 2016 and wants to take his chatshow over there, too. Carr, 39, said: “I am looking to go to America next year. I have some dates booked in New York.
“I have this theatre and I am worrying if people will turn up.”
Alan has always joked in the past that he would never make it across the Pond because he didn’t think he had the look or the voice.
He said: “I’d love to crack America but I don’t know whether someone looking like me can do it. Can you imagine with my voice?”
On the show tonight, comedienne and actress Catherine Tate, 47, claims she won’t ever make it big in Hollywood because she is ginger.
GINGER: Catherine Tate believes Hollywood prefers blonds
She explains: “They say there is a lot of talk that goes on behind closed doors about keeping us out. I mean how many are there? I think there are only two gingers.
“I did get to work in Hollywood. They are pretty OK with me being a redhead but they preferred me to be blonde.”
Fellow guest and singer Adam Lambert, 33, also admits to being ginger.
He jokes: “We are said to have a lot of special powers.”
