Laughing and Joking, that title couldn't be more right.
deloudelouvain3 February 2019
The good thing about a Jimmy Carr show is that you're never disappointed, at least if you're not easily offended. Jimmy Carr always delivers, he's a waterfall of words, mostly one-liner jokes, all politically non-correct, never to shy or afraid to interact with the audience. When he interacts with the audience it becomes clear he's a genious in funny comeback answers as you'll never win an argument with him. The audience clearly enjoys his shows, like I do as well. You just have to be able to laugh with anything. Laughing And Joking is the perfect title for his show as this is what it's about, him joking about everything you can't joke about and the audience laughing at all his wrong jokes. I wouldn't say this show was his best one but it's good enough for me to entertain me during a full 90 minutes and that's not easy to do.

Never disappoints...

Jimmy Carr is one of the most brilliant comedians I've ever seen. He's known by his crude language and offensive jokes, but even those are very smart - he likes to work with puns a lot and one-liners that usually don't let you go "oh for f*cks sake" because after he finishes one, gets the laugh he goes onto his next one and you'll be laughing out loud the entire show.

The heckles are always an amusement, even though he recycles a lot of his comebacks. His show always gets the same format which is fantastic for the viewers, because trying to hard is something we can all see and Jimmy Carr is just a natural gifted comedian. I hope people get notice of him and his stand ups. He takes life lightly in subjects that people are way too sensitive about. Sure pedophilia is a crime and he speaks a lot about it, but it's not like he's saying people to do it - he just wants them to laugh at an hypothetical situation.

If you're going to watch this hold your horses, say "f*ck it" and enjoy. You'll absolutely love it.
