for my liking!)
This DVD is certainly not for the easily offended. I don't get offended very easily and enjoy a good old laugh , but whilst watching this I felt really uncomfortable. His jokes are far too offensive , often based on very serious issues that we should definately not laugh at and so I took an instant dislike to this man.
To me , his jokes weren't that particularly funny! Just a bunch of one liners the whole time! Funny to me , is someone like Lee Evans , who includes stories (which are actaully funny) as well as some great impressions. Peter Kay is also a favourite of mine , but Jimmy Carr ; he's terrible. What annoyed me too, was how he took the p**s out of the audience members! When Lee Evans or Peter Kay do it , it is actually funny and sometimes I find myself laughing my head off! But with this man , I found his taking ...
Advantages: dry wit, posh humour, facial expressions Disadvantages: sometimes goes a bit to far ?
Jimmy Carr has to be one of the best stand ups around, not only has he recently finished a sell out tour around the UK he is also recieveing Television shows to host by the cart load.
For those of you who have never heard of him before (how I dont know) Jimmy is a middle-class comedian from the home counties, and as he says 'I dont have an accent.....this is how things are supposed to be pronounced'

These miniparts are are ...
Advantages: Its a DVD that can be watched over and over again Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted
I started watching Jimmy Carr about 4 years ago and received this DVD as a gift from my brother. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys comedy that requires a bit of thought but this is not for the easily offended. There are jokes of all ranges. His crowd interaction is superb and this is definetly a must see DVD.
Jimmy doesnt like people of the homesexual variety. This is clear from the outset. So if this is something that would offend you, do not watch. Recently I went to see Jimmylive, and I can say he is my all time favourite Comedian. He is one of a kind and has something for people of all ages.
This being one of his first DVD's released, Is a must buy for and Jimmy Carr fan. ...
