As the face of Channel 4 comedy, Jimmy's unique brand of observational humour is based on life's taboos using witty one-liners and offensive put downs. Recorded during the acclaimed comedian's sell out shows at London's Bloomsbury Theatre, Jimmy Carr Live is the freshest, most hilarious stand-up show from the UK's brightest new comic talent.

Jimmy Carr is very very good at being very very bad: his jokes are cruel and poke fun at everyone you can think of but his charm and delivery make each one-liner a classic. The humour reminds me in places of Derek and Clive and of Mark Thomas' Sex Filth and Religion set - if you like those, you'll probably love this. Although not quite a traditional stand-up gig the show runs smoothly and each of the segments go well together: The small ads section of the show is particularly amusing and it certainly brightened up my day. The special features are good - his Variety Performance in particular: although he still uses much of the same material, his delivery has certainly improved over the years. As for the dvd, the menu's are good and the special features well thought out with Jimmy's voice over the entire thing and some great art design. All in all a great show, well packaged and a very funny man.
Highly recommended.

I love reading reviews that mock the intelligence of a comedian and his fans when they are written in poor English that features misspelling and the erroneous use of big words. The irony appears to be lost on them, much like the comic genius of Jimmy Carr; himself a gifted, quick-witted stand up who is unafraid, in these PC times, to mercilessly satirize every aspect of modern life and every facet of society in equal measure, including himself - hardly `a smug' personality trait. It is a sad state of affairs when people cannot find the humility to laugh at themselves and recognize a man who does more to break down social barriers than so-called `community leaders'. Brilliant.

I didn't know much about Jimmy Carr until I watched this DVD . I know people say he is never off our screens but maybe they just watch too much TV . I found him to be hilarious , he has this amazing ability to make you laugh and cringe at the same time . Watch this and make your own mind up. I do think he is a very clever comedian and if you like the standard fair then stay away but if you want something different take a look

Why is there no option for 0 stars
Sarcastic, smug and annoying. Maybe he wants people to hate him? Maybe thats the comedy? I just don't get it.

Comedy Genius
Jimmy Carr's hilarious stand up shows are comedy genius. His wittiness and quick mind make his banter with the audience unbearably funny. A great show. Read more

Hilarious, shame about the religious bits
Jimmy Carr is very funny, in ideas and in delivery, and I did really laugh watching this. The only drawback is that Jimmy Carr, like some other comedians, takes the misinformed... Read more
