Is it worth seeing Jimmy Carr live?

[Boomb]

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.

 

[LEWIS540]

He's pretty good, yeah.

Plenty of clips on his YouTube channel for you to see if he's to your tastes, as stand-up / comedy is obviously subjective.

 

[Gigacardio]

No! I wouldn't even bother to see him here in the UK.

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

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.

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...

If I were given tickets to see him live, I'd be happy to go.

Odd fellow, but the best comedians are.

Well, I'll have to actually buy the ticket.

Take your wife instead

He's of of the ultimate leftie celebrifool puppets here in the UK.

Where did you go and see him?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

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.

 

[evergreenrider]

He's objectively an excellent comedian. Not really my cup of tea style wise, and even then I'd still go.

 

[GergreG]

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.

 

[Boomb]

Aaaaand it's already sold out, so no Jimmy Carr live for me...

 

[cheesus]

I saw him live once and it was a great show, can't say the same for Bro Rogan on the other hand. Had to endure 10 minutes of him sexually caressing a stool, not even joking.

I tried to watch one of his Netflix specials once...terrible, terrible....I couldn't resist for more than 5,10 minutes...
