Comedian Jimmy Carr has landed one of the world's first virtual gigs by taking his stand-up routine to the Second Life community.
Carr will perform for a real-life audience of just 100 people and his actions will be shown as a 3D character in the online world.
Fans can win tickets to the 3 February gig from Carr's MySpace website, choosing to visit the "top secret" London venue or see it in the virtual surroundings.
Carr's gig is not the first meeting between the real and the virtual worlds. Pop group Duran Duran is planning to perform in Second Life, and the BBC has held music festivals and a Newsnight interview in the online community.
