Jimmy Carr: In Concert
jboothmillard24 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Jimmy Carr on his fourth tour and DVD shows no signs of slowing down, in fact, he gets better with jokes and delivery, ruder and more offensive, and just more enjoyable to watch. In the show he does his usual observational and close to the mark jokes about many subjects, and he also has routines of re-written kids' jokes; observing his show's reviews, the Para-Olympics and graffiti, a poem, moral dilemmas, attempted improvisation with audience participation, and a five minute break comedy (yeah, right!) for ideas and thought with a jazz trio playing and atmosphere (smoke). The DVD special feature is recorded sound from many of his tour shows of Carr interacting with members of his audience, with nine types of animation added to fit his image, i.e. Carrtoons, including traditional cell animation, puppetry and stop-motion. Jimmy Carr was number 12 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Very good!

A show from Jimmy is unique even though you know exactly what you're going to get.

If you know Jimmy Carr then you know exactly what you are going to get by watching this show. If you don't know him then you'd better like one-line-jokes as he is the master in that genre. You'd better like very offensive jokes and sarcasm as that is also one of his particularities. If you're not into those kind of jokes just don't watch it because you will get offended. I love that kind of humor so I did enjoy this show like I enjoyed every other show of Jimmy Carr. The only negative thing I could write about, is that sometimes he tells a joke that he already used in another show and that's just not necessary as he doesn't need that. He's very responsive to the audience and that's also one of the best moments in his shows. He has a fast and funny answer to everybody that interrupts him and that makes him even better.
