Jimmy Carr
England - Dark comedy
"If only Africa had more mosquito nets. Then every year we could save millions of mosquito's dying needlessly of aids"
In 2006 Jimmy Carr won the British Comedy Award and he is currently one of the most well-known British comedians on the comedy circuit. He has acquired this recognition for a reason; one that can be viewed regularly on the comedy television show ‘8 out of 10 cats’ which he hosts. Carr is a master of the one liner but he develops stories through his performances. His genre of comedy ranges from blue comedy to dark comedy, with the later having gotten him into trouble in the past. Carr is not shy to make jokes about anything, he’s plays on the issue of everyone having a sense of humor and knowing that a joke is meant to be perceived in a certain way and not as an attack.
This is the only issue of his standup that can be at fault, knowing what a joke is and what is perhaps a little to offensive. However there is no doubt that Carr’s standup will make you laugh. His delivery is something that separates him from others at times. There are times in comedy where more is better and letting a laugh develop is the best possible outcome. Carr is fantastic at this he knows when to speak and when not to. In the link below we can see Carr at his best, his none beat around the bush style of comedy will make you laugh but viewers be warned that he may offend some.
