Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material

This was partly funny but sadly it seems that Jimmy is getting old and scared of being cancelled. He can still joke about pedophiles but not about BLM. He is playing it safe throughout. His Covid-19 rant was a bit pathetic. He used to be edgy but that is now just ancient history.

This was my first Jimmy Carr special and it is full of various types of (very cleverly written) one-liners that you'll either absolutely enjoy or totally hate.

If dark and 'offensive' comedy is your thing, you should check this out. If you like standup but this style isn't your thing, stay away from this unless you want to get your BP high.

To be honest, it was quite funny. Great one liners and good timing on the punchlines. The funnier thing to observe is how much this has offended the snowflakes who are usually so concerned about each and everything triggering them (right to the point of people not using pronouns in their display name). Loved it.

This is like the antidote to the lecture/sermon of Hannah Gatsby which the audience feels 'obliged' to clap/cheer for her because if they don't they are misogynists/sexists or whatever. Not because she is funny, in fact quite far from it. You can hear people 'actually' enjoy Carr's jokes and the groans when he pushes the boundary. Really good.

Simple as, if you're a fan of Jimmy you need to see this, just try not to get too distracted by his amazing new hairline lol.

Probably up there as one of his best but he's always been constant and a lot of laugh out loud moments here.

Don't watch if you're easily offended, THIS IS NOT YOUR SAFE SPACE!

This is a top 10 special no doubt. Should go alongside some of the great specials of all time.

I've seen em all, he's a pros pro. Halfway through the special, he's such a G, he asks the audience to start heckling him. Carr puts the C in confidence, definitely rewatchable. A+
