Jimmy carr both on and off the telly is a complete deadpan genius. This second stand up, following from last years sensational 'Jimmy carr live' dvd offers more of the same in deadpan and politically incorrect jokes. absolute gem. I cannoect recommend this enough, Jimm carr is the present and future King of comedy

Bottom line is if you liked Jimmy Carr's first stand up dvd then you will like this too. Pure genius. If you are easily offended then this isn't for you, but you would probably already have realised that. One thing that disapointed me slightly was when Jimmy tried to pass off a Ricky Gervais joke as his own, one about Carol Vorderman that Ricky used at one of the TV Awards ceremonies a couple of years ago. That's the only downside! BUY IT!

Carr is not only a hilarious comedian, but a fantastic actor. He manipulates the audience and his style of not understanding is brilliant. The best comedian I have ever seen, but, be warned - this is not for the easily offended.

I was there for the recording and it is hilarious. Same level of humour as the first, many new jokes with some previously seen re worked and re-introduced. If you want more Jimmy....buy this.

While this Stand Up is far from the best stand up comedy show I've ever seen, it still had me in stitches at times.

Contrary to what many people appear to think, the jokes on this DVD are entirely new and different from those on its counterpart - Jimmy Carr Live - while there are similarities, for example, he sticks to the, in my opinion, highly successful formula of picking out differences in class in society. However, the jokes are fresh.

This DVD shows great progress on the part of Jimmy Carr. While the first DVD was packed with hilarious one-liners and used small-ads and letters to offer a bit of variety, this time Carr opts for the much more widely accepted approach of banter around a joke. Instead of short, snappy and entirely unrelated one-liners Carr works his way around the joke before hitting the audience with the punchline.

A sure fire hit for any fan - new or old.

Jimmy carr is probably one of the best Comidians around. He is one of my favourites alongside Chubby Brown and Bill Baily.

This dvd is realy good value. i laughed all the way through it. It is realy funny the way he mocks and interacts with the audience. i Laughed alot when a girl went to the toilet and he timed her.

This is Great fun You'll enjoy this.

Jimmy Carr is typically clever, deadpan and enjoyable with his material in this performance. In my opinion it is not his best live performance although if you enjoy his other material and indeed stnad up comedy in general, you are likely to enjoy this. Unlike this first DVD, 'Jimmy Carr Live' this performance is purely stand up and does not involve other parts, such as letters, adverts and audience interviews. I happened to enjoy his first DVD more although that is personal preference and I would suggest this is still a worthwhile purchase.

This DVD is worth buying just for the moment when Jimmy picks out a girl in the audience and asks her if she's with the bloke she's sitting next to. She just waves her hand and says "Move on." What follows is the best interaction with the audience I've seen by any comedian. The rest of the show is great too.

Excellent
Best laughs in ages.
If you are easily offended,don't buy as he has the 'old type' non-pc jokes, without being as nasty.

I rate Jimmy Carr as one of the funniest people I have ever seen! This DVD is full of wel thought jokes from everything from gypsy-chavs to Alton Towers! the reason I find him so funny, is that a lot of the time, he jokes about things we dare not say! in his own words, "I only know when I've crossed the line after I've crossed it" (or words to that effect!) He is also a genius on the spot. Coming out with jokes and comebacks instantly. The stuff of legends! I never realised just how funny he was untill I purchased this DVD. I recomend this to any comedy fan.
