Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets. Jokes attract people, but they can also repel.
Some people are repelled by Jimmy’s dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them. But if it’s the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you’ll like.

Jimmy Carr is an award-winning comedian, writer and television host, famous for his dark humour and one-line jokes. You’ll think of him as either a politically incorrect equal opportunities offender or a fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin. Either way he was scientifically proven to be the funniest comedian in the UK.
The best way to get to know the man behind the jokes is to listen to his interviews. This selection showcases his kinder, more thoughtful side and will also give you a recommended reading list (from a very well-read man).
In 2021’s Diary of a CEO he talked about topics like depression, flow state, happiness, the meaning of life and being a new father.
Jimmy is obsessed with music and you can get a feel for his musical tastes from his selection on Desert Island Discs
Ask yourself “what do you want” is a strong takeaway from the Modern Wisdom podcast that covers discussions about the modern obsession with the individual, young men in crisis, cancellation, kindness, quarter life crises in men and much more.
Appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience Jimmy gives his thoughts on, amongst other things, gratitude, JFK, Nuclear power, religion, his love for comedy and how he’d like to see it taught in schools, to help children find their voice.
