Jimmy Carr: Stand Up
jboothmillard22 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This was pretty much funnier than the first DVD, Jimmy Carr Live. It had more daring jokes, it had a good audience, and better than that, I saw one of these shows while he was on tour. Seeing him live was just fantastic, and one of the best jokes was a guy shouting out "Duckman", and Carr asks why he is called that, the guys says "long story", and it turns out his name is Lee Drake! Anyway, this DVD of one of his shows performed during the tour is just brilliant. Also, if you have the DVD of it you get the special features of him being top of the "star in a reasonably priced car" track list; on Top Gear, and his own Comedy Idol (like X Factor, but for comedians). Jimmy Carr was number 12 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Very good!

The one-liner king.

As a stand up comedian you could easily say Jimmy Carr is the king of the one-liners. Short jokes with a normal intro, a small pauze, and then you get the pun. It's not easy to fill a whole show with these kind of jokes but he manages it without any problem. His jokes are daring, always on the edge, but they're all funny. I like this kind of humor, sarcastic and balancing between right and wrong. His interacting with the audience also shows that he is very spontanious and not afraid to go in confrontation with people of the audience. Some try to outsmart him but in the end he always wins and always has the last word. That just shows he's very inventive and has a natural gift for humor. This was the third show I saw from him and I've never been disappointed. Up to the next show!
