Product Description
Jimmy Carr is the hardest working comedian in Britain. He has now played to over one million people on tour and sold over a million DVDs. He returns with the release of his most outrageous stand up set to date, Making People Laugh, featuring over two hours of material that’s too rude for TV.
The new DVD shows Jimmy at his very best and contains over 250 jokes. Here’s a small selection:
“The first guy who persuaded a blind person they needed sunglasses, he must have been a hell of a salesman.”
“Liverpool is the only city in Great Britain where JD Sports, has an evening wear department.”
“A great way to warm up pensioners in winter.. is cremation.”
“My girlfriend recently had a phantom pregnancy. And now we have a little baby ghost.”
Bonus Material
Jimmy Carr Just For Laughs – a selection of Jimmy’s Gala performances at the Montreal Comedy Festival
Jimmy on Famous People – some potentially libellous (and certainly treasonous) jokes
Jimmy Meeting and Greeting – Jimmy saying hello to fans after the live record in Glasgow

If Jimmy Carr is your cup of tea, the DVD is unlikely to disappoint - it features a show from his recent tour (recorded in Glasgow), together with some earlier appearances in Montreal (2003, 2006, 2007) and the after show signing session in Glasgow as extras. The extras are similar in style and are a good complement to the main show.
It mostly consists of one liners, not unlike his other work. He interacts pretty well with the audience and manages to both pay them back in kind, as well as be fairly acceptable and friendly at the same time. He certainly goes a bit further than on '8 out of 10 cats', as this is a DVD and not subject to the same 'propriety' criteria but compared to the recent Frankie Boyle he is pretty palatable - maybe still not something one would want to watch with ones parents (cannot really think of stand up comedy one would) but certainly something you can give as a gift without worrying about negative consequences.
With the exception of someone like Stephen Fry, I guess Jimmy Carr is still one of the more cerebral comedy acts out there and he's no different on this DVD.

This was one of my Christmas presents to my son. We watched it together and had a good laugh. Jimmy Carr is brilliant.

I am a huge Jimmy Carr fan, owning all of his stand up DVDs and having seen him in concert a couple of times, and I found this DVD to be one of his best yet. Jimmy is known for his one-liners and audience interaction, and he excels in both in this DVD. If you are not a fan of one-liners (for example as some of the negative reviewers stated) then a Jimmy Carr DVD probably isn't for you! But if you are a fan of Jimmy Carr then this DVD certainly will not disappoint! Fantastic DVD, highly recommended!

Making People Laugh? He surely is.
As always, he has a quick and witty sense of humor and he will probably be around forever! This DVD is a must buy for anyone who is a Jimmy Carr fan.

rude, but not funny
Very disappointed with this. Admittedly, it is very rude (not always my preference), but it is neither clever nor funny. Read more
