Is it worth seeing Jimmy Carr live?

So, I just saw that Jimmy Carr will be in my country in march and as I've been watching a lot of his content lately, I was thinking of going. Has anyone been to one of his shows? Is it worth it?
I'm particularly curious how he handles hacklers in a foreign country.
 
No! I wouldn't even bother to see him here in the UK.
What did you dislike about him when you went?

I'd go, my Irish girl friend here in the US went to see him in I think SF and loved him, she has a similar sense of humour to me though and I think he's funny as fuck.
 
If you like his content you'll like him live. He was great when I saw him here. If you decide to go, stop watching his content so you minimise repeat jokes as they do recycle a lot of high rotation recent stuff
I've seen Eddie Izzard a ton of times and thankfully I didn't see him recycle, but I've seen a bunch of content online where he did.
 
Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to convince my girlfriend to go as well...

He's of of the ultimate leftie celebrifool puppets here in the UK.
 
I enjoyed it when I saw him, he's very good at taking down hecklers.
 
I saw him outside of London almost 10 years ago. Was a decent show. He would let you write insults during intermission then respond in the 2nd half of the show.
 
He's objectively an excellent comedian. Not really my cup of tea style wise, and even then I'd still go.
 
I find his crowd work pretty boring. Seems to fallback on the 'your momma' one liners too often. I haven't seen him live but watched plenty of clips and also 'countdown'.

I really like Ian Bagg's crowd work instead.
