Jimmy Carr Live

[yogi-bear]

Off to see Jimmy Carr this Friday in Worthing......anyone seen him live? Do you like/don't like him?
Do you like 8/10 Cats Does Countdown?

I know he's brilliant with his comebacks with hecklers, if any dare, and always hangs around after his shows in the foyer to meet and greet people who want to chat to him.

Quite looking forward to it.

[Elina]

Love his laugh yogi!! :0)

[Elina]

Prefer Alan Carr ...

[Patsy33]

I like listening to him most the time. I like 8 out of 10 Cats too. He is so quick witted. He does make me laugh. Never seen him live. Hope you enjoy show!

[Elina]

Enjoy yourself!

[yogi-bear]

So do I, Elina...it's like a seal on heat!

[Elina]

^ LOL!!

I like 8 Out of 10 Cats and Countdown, but don't like the mash-up of them together.
I think Jimmy Carr is witty and clever. His laugh is annoying, though.
Have fun.

[yogi-bear]

Thanks, Patsy and Elina......Mrs Bear thinks he's great....but she is American!

I like Alan Carr in moderation......not sure if I would go and see him live though

[yogi-bear]

Thank you Cloverjo.... I'm sure we will

[yogi-bear]

Not sure if being recorded, divebuddy.....hope not so he can crank 'em up a bit

Due to public demand, he's added another date in Worthing in November

[ChillDoubt]

I've seen him before, he's very good. At the end he usually opens the floor to questions from the audience about anything. I asked him who he liked and disliked when he does QI. Said he liked Rory McGrath but always found John Sessions took it all a bit seriously...but I digress.
You'll have a great time but if you're in female company I'd forewarn them, he is extremely near the knuckle, in fact he's pure filth!

[Baldric]

Can't stand his stupid laugh, whatever the reason for it, normally change channels if he appears on TV.

[yogi-bear]

Thanks for the tip, ChillDoubt......Yep, The female grabbing ho!d of my arm that night is none other than my good wife of 24 years, Mother to several of my children, A fruitcake to live with, and all round good egg and my soulmate.
I have warned her that he can be a bit salty.....she has a great sense of humour, so, hopefully, will love it.

Remember years ago, saw Jim Davidson at The Circus Tavern.....she didn't understand his accent at all....which is just as well, as he was smutty and drunk to boot.

[yogi-bear]

Funny, Baldric....I do that when I see that twOnk guy presenter on the One Show!

[Baldric]

Tbh, One Show and Countryfile not on approved list either because of him ;o)

[yogi-bear]

What a untalented ***....how he managed to get into broadcasting I will never know.

Didn't even know he did countryfile too, balders

[Everhelpful]

Thought he was great on Panel Shows,bought his DVD,absolute rubbish with a Capital R.

I have only seen JC on video, but it was one of his shows, so I got the gist.

I think his invention is amazing, how he writes a new show for each tour, and he tours all the time.

He eats heckler! But he does tell the tale of a heckler who bested him during one of his first shows as a stand-up -

JC was proceeding away, audience on his side, when a loud man in the audience announced "My mum died of cancer you know ..." and Mr Carr felt the atmosphere drain away like a popped balloon.

"I wasn't even talking about cancer ..." was the comedian's somewhat lame response.

"No, but it was still funiier than this!" came the response!

Mr Carr was utterly unable to follow that, and made it his mission to retain control at all times. Now hecklers take him on at their peril, he is far too quick, he has the microphone, and he will make you crawl under the exit door without opening it if he catches you trying to 'join in'.

JC always says he likes the laugh followed by the gasp afterwards. The sort of 'I think that is really funny, but I am a horrible human being for laughing at it ...' and that humour appeals to me.

Please let us know what you think.
