Jimmy Carr

[scooterscot]

Went to see him last night here in Munich. Meehhh.. the start was good, current affairs stuff. But reckon he's too reliant on the shock factor, pedophilia etc. Turning into chubby brown humour.

'Any Christians in the audience?' no one answered. He was confused. Then someone mentioned church tax. He was like wtf? Which required some explaining. Then waffled about his own Cameron / tax affairs.

'Any Jews in the audience?' 'No?'.. .. someone shouted 'Yes!' Before Jimmy could retort this strong German accent several rows back 'Ja, we missed one' - deafening silence - Carr's face was priceless.

Since he's popular with the masses I'm sure the usual suspects will be quick to pile in and denounce him as a worthless, unfunny champagne leftie

I do like 8/10 cats, possibly agree he's a bit of a shock-jock... that stuff is too easy.

The German in the audience though, that's hilarious though.

8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown is excellent.

Must be very hard to do Stand-Up in a different country & culture.

Gary Neville did well; pissed myself laughing for weeks when he worked in Spain.

Seen him live twice. Never failed to make me laugh, even if he does rely on shock humour.

I agree. Really bizarre but fun.

Poor man's Boyle, in my view.

I presume he went to Germany because he had a load of toilet jokes he needed to use? Had he thought of a dead good verse for Scheiße-Lied?
