I thought he was built by Gipetto?

I had the opportunity to meet Jimmy Carr in the interval of his own show and it he surprisingly nice. I went to his standup show solo, sat in the front row and he heckled me in the front row, something porn related and I said I didn’t understand when he pointed his finger at me as I didn’t want to be associated with porn in the front row of a Jimmy Carr show 😅 In his interval you can message a number and he comes and interacts with that in the second half. I asked if I could meet him as I’m an aspiring comedian with a disability and I need some advice. Couple of minutes later his stage manager came and grab me said Jimmy would like to meet me. We spoke in his dressing for a couple of minutes about standup and just keep applying myself and using my disability as it’s advantage to stand out. Took a photo and went and sat back in the front row astonished with what just happened. Thank you Jimmy, you was so warm and kind.

I have no idea what your disability is, and I have no idea how much of this is on the internet, but study Steddy Eddie. The most successful disabled comedian I've seen in my lifetime. But he was Aussie, so his exposure was low. (Like I said, no internet.) But he got it *right*.

My friend's Dad, Andy, met Jimmy Carr in Las Vegas about ten years ago. Andy never had a nice word to say about anybody, had no clue who the hell Jimmy Carr was, yet raved about this "lovely British guy" for days after.

Had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Carr at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Love Jimmy Carr when he's in a conversation with someone... He's a lot more down to earth and relaxed than when he's on stage.

I met Jimmy Carr once when i was a prize winner to attend a Liecester Square movie premiere. He was on the red carpet and came over and chatted to everyone. He was lovely. There ws a little girl there who obviously didn't know who he was other than someone famous and he knelt down and signed her autograph book for her and took a photo. He was very very good with her and her parents. Down to earth, warm and chatty, no ego. Very decent.

I met jimmy a few years ago briefly during Mardi Gras in Australia. I was filming something with some friends when I looked over and saw a ventriloquist dummy wearing some sort of summery dress shirt. When I realised it was him I yelled “that’s fucking jimmy carr” and startled him a little bit. He was very sweet but was in a rush and didn’t have much time but I could tell he was a genuine and sweet guy

The more I learn about Jimmy Carr, the more I admire him. Great interview Russell. 🤩

Great interview- I love these peeks into the real person behind the comedian. Most comedians have an intelligence and understanding about human nature that is way deeper than the persona they invent- I love the fact the Jimmy is actually an empathetic nice guy when not being his stand up self!

Ironically this is the first time I've heard Jimmy so calm and composed

Two comedy greats having an awesome authentic conversation. Seen you both live, both amazing, keep the good comedy going, thank you!

Love Russell he’s the goat

I've been saying all along, charisma is a vastly underrated quality, and the charismatic don't need to make excuses for something they did wrong- they leave that to their devotees.

Great interview would like to see the whole thing ❤

You both are great comedians, and I very much enjoy watching your sets, respectively, as well as just being authentic, as Jimmy put it. I think people have become afraid of authenticity because then they have to show their true self, flaws, and all. Rather than being able to look at each other in the face and have an actual conversation, it's more about dodging truth and reality, it feels like.

2 of my favorite human beings. Love you guys

Maybe I'm the first Aussie 🇦🇺😁 I'm literally having 4 AM anxiety.

Love a good comedian and already booked tickets for jimmy carr for February 25 😂😂

THANK YOU! Someone finally mentioned it! I HATE the way people talk on TV! It's one of the main reasons I stopped watching TV years ago. It's always this 'fluffy', almost patronizing way of speaking that just sounds fake, and a little bit insulting. No-one in real life talks like people on TV do. It's so off-putting! It feels like I'm being talked down to, like I'm a child or an idiot. Or both. And God forbid if you ever swear on live TV! The presenters are practically forced to turn to the camera and say "We're sorry for any bad language you may have heard there", like we're all children who shouldn't be hearing the bad no-no words. Swear words are often part of normal conversation for most adults (unless you're a prude), so half the time, I don't even notice that someone has sworn on TV until the presenters _go out of their way to draw attention to it_ by explicitly apologizing about it! Just.....move on. Don't even acknowledge that it happened and people probably won't even notice!

Dick Bradsell invented the espresso martini. Worked next door to him for years in soho: gutted when he passed. Very nice bloke. Miss him.

My comedy North Star and my comfort comic. This episode makes me very happy

Are full episode videos posted anywhere? I feel like this is one of those podcasts I'd like to watch & listen... like 2B1C

Russell's profile pic always reminds me of the cover of the album Speech Therapy, by Speech Debelle. The one she won the Mercury for.

Aussieintexas61 ... If it's anything like his gigs in the US previously, it will be dumbed down unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong and he lets go because Jimmy is one of my favourite comedians and he is best when he doesn't hold back.

Its funny to think that one of the really great things about (and I can't stress this word enough) certain ends of ticktok is also the authenticity. A lot of mental health, addressing toxic family's, and positively sharing snippets of cultural and spiritual life from all over the world, you know the kind of shit that is realy hard to explain but easy to automatically upload in a way thst KZread is a bit obstinant about, it does really well.

Jimmy might have a weird laugh, but when he's just chatting in a relaxed way this, his voice sounds quite nice - like the host of a late night radio show.

Truely inspirational listening to you two, thank you for that. :) Edit: spelling.

always saying we miss seeing you on panel shows russ, we're always rewatching big fats, cats, or qi's with ya

Couldn't agree more with both of you . Had a conversation with one of you on Twitter ( never going to call it X ) and the other one of you was spoken to about me in an Australian interview on channel 10 show the project by Lisa Wilkinson . I wouldn't abuse the privilege of meeting either/both of you funny gentlemen . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

The thing about supermodels reminded me of something Jerry Hall once said. She never wore a watch as if she wanted to know the time she would just ask and ten men would rush over to tell her

It's so nice to know that someone who you might assume to be a bit of a dick is actually a really nice person. Sadly with celebrities it's usually the opposite. Someone who you think would be just a lovely person is downright nasty to everyone around them. I know Jimmy suffers from anxiety, and the harsh comedy could very well be a coping mechanism he developed to try and deal with it, while happening to be very charismatic and legitimately funny. I have my own anxiety issues and my #1 coping mechanism around other people is comedy...or poor attempts at it anyway.

met jimmy several times and he's a really nice bloke, although he has took the piss out of my hair several times 😂

I've had several of them, also drinking Duval beer prior and afterwards . Slept like a log 😅😅😅

Jimmy is a really good interview guest. I'd watch anything where his name comes up. There's a slight bit of fakery when he presents himself as risqué, when he's one of the most mainstream comedians out there. He would have been risqué in the 80s, but not now! Pretending he's likely to be 'cancelled' to a stadium full of people shows how bizarre social media has made us all. Easy to categorise him as less risqué than Russell Howard, but nowhere near as middle of the road as Michael McIntyre. But there's also something real and sincere in his act, even though it's essentially a bunch of gags. He's a brilliant stand up, and that's why he's so mainstream.

More please

On the subject of 'being yourself, I currently live in Ireland and I've had a couple of occasions where someone's said 'Oooooh, you can't say that...' I generally reply "Yes I can, under the constitution I've freedom of expression and unless it's inflammatory, incitement or slander, I can say whatever the fuck I like." - Generally it shuts them the fuck up. Jimmy is one of the deepest thinking comedians. I love his maxim "The sound I love most after a joke is 'Ha ha ha... Oooooh' - when the audience laugh then suddenly think 'Oh, should I laugh at that?' "

Heard this thing the other day, which touches on what Jimmy was saying about attention span, we havent changed, if there is a short video, lets say a podcast is talking about something, and there is a video under it, which has someone cutting foam, its not because we have changed, we have always sat down, and looked around as we talk, if you sit under a tree with a friend, you will watch the birds as you talk, or watch the trees sway, nothing has changed, we are just more a wear

Oooh I love espresso martini.Love ❤

I always say we live in sad times (or that people just hypocrites) as all a standup comedian needs to do to get laughs is tell the truth and/or revert to the lowest feelings in humans. People will laugh, not at a joke but at "I can't believe he had the courage to say that", as they're so used to lying about almost everything.

I don't know where to send this, but I'd like to praise Russells' dentist as his are by far the BEST gnashers in a Brits gob on tele. I want that dentists name, as I am the owner of typically British teeth. I want them replaced on a grand scale.

Me as an ADHDer sipping my coffee so I can have a nap thinking this is perfectly normal...

Russel is the crunchiest carrot in the patch

Literally the last comedians I saw live. Russell in Boston and Jimmy in Aberdeen

Why not upload full video? Or is that a members only thing?

How do we watch the full podcast on video ?

Havent drank tea or coffee for years. Tropical juice, milkshake or cider for me.

At the end Jimmy says something along the lines that a stand-up's on-stage persona is an act, but that there is some "leakage" of their reality into that act. I think that is true and that it does colour audiences' enjoyment of their performances

I’m heading to the kettle as soon as I open my eyes

Only just seen this clip, quite insightful, but title was bit misleading,

Where can we find thw video version of this podcast..?

where can i see the whole thing?

People have been levitating towards comedians for their opinions and their take on world events, I feel, because the regular news is so fixed on sides instead of being in the objective middle except when understandably the occasional morally wrong situations. I try and avoid drowning in the negativity. Not to say we shouldn't worry about certain things, but we have enough negativity on social media platforms.

There are two kinds of people - positive/negative Charisma - You knock on a door a person opens the door and says either “What do you want?” Or “Can I help you?” If its the latter then life can be challenging and that’s when charm can be an asset:)

An espresso Martini with tequila instead of coffee? So Vodka, Tequila, Coffee liquor and possibly simple syrup? Or does he mean Tequila instead of the vodka?

Random: I saw Frankie tell that story and when he told it his kid said “ Sausages “

Jimmy your mom was WAY ahead of her time, giving you a coffee before a nap. If we look aside the fact that she was giving a 3 year old coffee. But the gold powernap today is a espresso and a 20 min nap...so cudoes to her :D

The origins of the Espresso Martini was slightly wrong... The drink was invented at Soho Brasserie, a swanky London club, in the early 1980s (probably ’83). It was at the behest of a young fashion model, so the legend goes. Eager to keep her night alive, she famously asked a bartender, in so many words, for a cocktail that could stimulate, then inebriate, all in one. That bartender was Dick Bradsell, an iconic figure who presided over the London cocktail scene for decades and helped disrupt the reign of the city’s pub culture. Soho Brasserie had recently gotten an espresso machine installed. So Bradsell served her vodka, coffee liqueur, sugar, and a freshly pulled shot from the new machine, shaken over ice and fitted into a sultry martini glass.

If Russel Howard became a belter on Tycho Station he'd turn into Stephen Merchant

The attention span point was really interesting

This clip didn't live up to it's title

A Martini with Tequila is known as a Mexican Martini

I'd watch the show on spotify but no video

Anyone know what headphones they are waering?

Crazy real. I'm real and I can't even

An espresso with tequila in it is called “El Jafe”

Lol, yeah, what is the go? Are they getting info relayed to them? Who knows. It’s funny that you pointed it out 😊

I almost see podcasts as, I always need some kind of noice. I wanted to go on walks more. Just to do anything besides sitting at home. So I got Spotify and started listening to music. Then I found some good podcasts, then I could listen to it at work for a while and I just had this going for seven to eight hours of the day. So now, whenever I’m going somewhere I’m listening to something. It doesn’t even stop when I get to the store, like if it was a car radio, because I’m wearing a headset. If there’s a few minutes left when I get home I also let it finish. But it also have that good point that when an episode of something I like come out, I want to go for a walk, so I can listen to it.

I keep forgetting Jimmy's laugh is the same as stampy

A decent joke told with belief can become hilarious, most material told by standup comedians is fabricated but there's also many of those most that are weaved from truths too. To me it's not about the content of a joke or a bit it's about the meaning and how much I can relate to them or even relate to them to real facts and events, those are a sure way to get enough people laughing in an honest instinctive way. Beauty of it is there is no right or wrong, there is no best comedian ever because comedy is subjective, you can argue best performer or even best show from a more objective way but I for example still end up in stitches with George Carlin even though I've watched his standups and re-watched god knows how many times but I don't know other people to share that with, sure there's enough to be found here on the internet, and it's understandable that it's not for everyone, tho I also love the more brutal jokes where the witty dark humor takes center stage. The best comedians to ever perform all tend to share a common ground, it being they just did their thing, despite time changes and trends alongside them they carried on being true to themselves because the Jimmy Carr you see on stage is not him but merely a part of him that is deep and personal to the point that it's quite obvious that there's raw truth behind the performance even with all it's theatrics and embellishments you are still getting something that is very much rooted in honesty, the content may change to be more topical but the core of his comedy style and his approach doesn't regardless of the nature of said content. His success, both of theirs in fact, in comedy is no accident, he understands what it's meant to be well. Laughter is therapeutic, both to hear and express as well as to provoke it, thus the urge to make people around you laugh is more often than not a defense mechanism by people that are to some extent broken in one way or another, helping yourself by helping others if you will and that in itself also has a beautiful honesty to it. If your motives are shallow there's no reason to be surprised if you eventually fall flat and at the end of the day whether it's short jokes or long bits it's still a form of storytelling, if you don't have much to tell you'll quickly run out of people that are willing to listen, and that's specially the case for podcasts and that's why it's no surprise that when good real comedians jump on the format these perform well enough, because they have a chance to be far more honest while still have that itch to be funny and entertaining even when talking about insightful and introspective things. The real beauty of not being directly tied to the entertainment industry is this freedom to be as themselves as they want outside of their main body of work, a real blessing for those of us who are willing to stay a while and listen.
