Jasper and the Lord Mayor He was given the award by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham on the main stage in Centenary Square, as part of Saturday evening's ArtsFest entertainment. The square was packed with Jasper's fans and he made it clear he was honoured and grateful. He said: "I'm incredibly honoured and very humbled." He also said how proud he is of being a Brummie.  Jasper Carrott with his star "We live in the greatest city in the world." Although Jasper Carrott, who's 62, has had many hits as a comedian over the years, he's always kept his roots. "This is the city I was born in. I live 10 miles away from where I was born." His star will eventually be set in concrete on Broad Street.
