Jimmy Carr uses more material in 30 Minutes than an American Comedian uses in his entire career!

Paul Francis Gadd (born 8 May 1944), known professionally as Gary Glitter, is an English former glam rock singer who achieved success in the 1970s and 1980s. His career ended after he was imprisoned for downloading child pornography in 1999, and was subsequently convicted of child sexual abuse and attempted rape, in 2006 and 2015, respectively.

I think it was Trey Parker and Matt Stone who said that if you decide any topic is off limits for comedy, it then makes everything else you joke about offensive. Jimmy Carr's gypsy joke was not a great joke in my opinion, but it was just that - a joke. If people don't like it, they can vote with their wallets by not seeing him perform or watching him on TV. Protesting outside his shows is fine on my books as well so long as they're not trying to get the show shut down - it's a free country so we shouldn't discourage non-violent protests and freedom of expression. I've learned a lot through speaking to protesters, or speaking to people when I've been at protests

The best thing he does is responding to hecklers, his comebacks are unparalleled. It’s interesting he isn’t that big in the US, he sells out everywhere he goes in Canada and always has a show at the Just for Laughs festival.

Totally agree with you both, comedy is a great escape from the real world but many people these days can't see the distinction between comedy and seriousness. I have been to see Jimmy Carr live a few times and although his comedy is close to the line of being offensive, he never crosses it. He is one of my favourite comedians.

You both offer an intelligent appraisal of what comedy is about. You're spot on, it's not a TED show its humour. The best comedians take their humour very seriously.

Well said guys ,laughter is the best medicine ! We all need a reason to smile these days. You boys certainly do that ..keep up the great work 💪 🙌

lol Brilliant! Oh and just to layer this a little... Jimmy has said that his stand-up comedy is 'a job' so like you guys said, he's not that same character the rest of the time. People want to laugh and see him joke right to the edge. And there's an amazing interview you can watch with 'The Diary Of A CEO' (won't link but it's here in YT) interviewing Jimmy for over an hour where you get to hear the real bloke of Jimmy and wow such a difference! I don't mean it for the reaction, just check a little out in personal time, he's a deep thinker when not creating edgy jokes! Oh and he's married now with a kid and says it truely changed his life. Worth a listen for that too. Great reaction as always, and looking dapper both of you! lol

I was always brought up to believe one key rule to comedy. Either everything is ok to make jokes at, or nothing is. Anything else is bigotry. I do also know that there is a time & a place for darker comedy. Hell, when I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 20, I was telling cancer jokes to my friends, while hooked up to the chemo. The point isn't to upset. The point is to break down walls & relive some tension with a quick laugh.

Well said dude. I'm totally on the same page as you. And also, just because nothing is off limits, doesn't mean jokes have to be well received - the jokes still need to be good, you've got to know your audience, and you've got to consider the timing of such things as well. Case in point, jokes about Harvey Weinstein - James Corden's jokes about this bombed, because he's a terrible 'comedian'. Ricky Gervais had people in hysterics. So it's not necessarily the subject matter that's the issue, it's what you do with it

Contrary to his stage performances, he is a very kind and nice person, always loves to meet his fans. Jimmy’s great as long as you get his comedy.

This is just standard British comedy 😂 go to any pub of an evening and you'll hear all sorts of dark comedy 😂 Gary glitter btw... On the same level as Jimmy saville

Jimmy is one of the best UK comedian of this era. You hear his jokes and instinctively laugh because of what he says, plus his comedic timing is impeccable. You may think for a millisecond, should I be laughing at that, but then the humour in your brain takes over, and you laugh until your sides hurt. Obviously, his comedy on TV shows is turned down a bit... but he stretches the TV restrictions to the max. Everyone who goes to see Jimmy Carr should know what they are going to see/hear.

You guys are awesome! Love all reactions!

“If only Africa had more mosquito nets then every year we could save millions... of mosquitoes from dying needlessly of aids." Jimmy Carr's comedy is ALL about subverting expectations with wordplay. It's clever, it's surprising and to be honest the subject matter is only incidental to the comedy.

There are two types of people who can't take a joke. Those who are offended for themselves, and those who are offended for others.

Gary Glitter was a rock star in the early 1970s, part of the Glam Rock scene. In the nineties he was busted for child porn when he took his PC in for repair. He then got prosecuted for sex offences as a tourist in Thailand, and then all the stories started to come out from when he was famous, like hanging out with Jimmy Savile. He still gets royalties from his songs when they show up in '70s compilation albums and films.

I'm from the UK, people kicked off about carrs last show wanting it taken off, I love dark comedy, laughter is the best medicine, without it your dead inside, I wish people would stop getting so easily offended, your right protect comedy at all costs
