Default Anyone like Jimmy carr?

got his first two dvds and saw his lastest one at my mates house lastnight(jimmy carr:comedian its called) and it was absolutely hilarious, some of his jokes had my sides spliting, i love his sarcasm

Lets not get into a "whos the best comedian" or "whos better" im just simply asking who else likes him

Anyone seen him live?

I've just got his latest dvd for Christmas (blue cover with his face)
*found pic - same as yours.


Haven't watched it yet..and it wasn't something I'd go and buy myself but I thought I'd ask for it for a present as I think he's very funny on the tv shows he does.

Seen him live and was absolutely brilliant, laughed all the way through, and he is definantly the best comedian IMO as all the others seem to repeat, even his comedian DVD he never repeated any gags and i went to see him in Oct

I think that's what I like about him: his replies are so quick to anything you can throw his way.

Someone said that to me once.... So I watched him, fell asleep..... At 4 in the afternoon

Mildly amusing, wouldn't go as far to say he's a great comic... Far too much in the "starter + punchline" jokes... And his camp, trying to look serious all the time is wearing thin IMO. Like Jack Dee, just a bit gayer.....

Got his other DVD's, and got the latest one for Xmas, just got back from the Theatre today in Oxford and noticed he is there in Jan, couldn't get tickets for it, but he is back in April and so we booked them, Ł19 each for decent seats too, bargain!
