Jimmy Carr - Mr. equanimity

Jimmy Carr is a comedian, whose jokes sometimes even by British standards are simply filled with black humor and obscenities. Carra can be loved or hated, but it will be difficult to just stay indifferent to him. Fans after his particularly sharp statements will grin and say "typical Jimmy", while the enemies have a thousand reasons to remember whose feelings he touched. Complementing this image of self-criticism and self-irony - and in it Jimmy Carr is unsurpassed.

"Yes, this can not be avoided - I look like a gentleman-rapist"

If Jimmy had been a culinary dish, he would have consisted entirely of the one-liners he mastered. The feelers are short jokes, and in Carr's speeches there are no long monologues that listeners listen with bated breath. No, the harsh statements that provoke an explosive wave of laughter are his style.

Few facts

Jimmy Carr, whose biography is not as interesting as the themes of his performances, began the career of a stand-up comic at twenty-six. His active work began in 2000 (Karru just knocked 28, he was born September 15, 1972 in London), before that Jimmy received a strict Catholic education, and then worked in the marketing service. Does it sound boring? So Carr thought so - the long depression was overcome with the help of a psychotherapist, and Jimmy, having hit all the hard, showed the world a stand-up that does not shun the speeches of the most slippery and unacceptable themes - he jokes about atheism, pedophilia, disabled people and cripples.

Insult all!

Needless to say that with this approach on the head of Jimmy Carr, tons of perturbations invariably crash down? Scandalously known - this epithet is very to his face. But what's interesting is that the stand-up does not consider it necessary to justify, no, it is always unruffled. Even when a joke about Iraqi and Afghan troops with amputated limbs brought on him a bunch of trials, Jimmy Carr (pictured in this article) replied that he does not see anything in it - he always jokes about such topics, what should embarrass him?

Than good?

Despite all the claims, Jimmy Carr has thousands of fans around the world. He is also popular in his homeland - in Britain on his show not only do thousands of people come to listen to the comedian, but they also buy up a DVD with performances, and quote especially memorable ones.

Guest of numerous programs

British humor for those who know little about him, can seem very strict and conservative. In fact, this is an amazing combination of intellectuality and vulgarity, rudeness and subtlety. England is pleased to present dozens of quiz programs, from which you can draw interesting facts and expand the boundaries of your knowledge, but which abound with jokes on the brink of intolerance. One such is Big Fat Quiz of the Year ("The Big Fat Annual Quiz"). Jimmy Carr is her constant presenter. We are glad to see him and on Quite Interesting ("Quite interesting") - also a quiz, coming out, fortunately, more often than once a year.

"But why pretend so?"

What does Jimmy Carr remember? Well, besides his scabrous jokes, from which the bigots turn their heads with obvious disgust? Those who have ever seen his show, will answer immediately - with laughter. It's true, his laughter already guarantees a similar reaction in the hall. He, frankly, is weird. But Jimmy, ironic Jimmy, self-critical Jimmy, without a twinge of conscience, jokes about this particular feature.

In one of the speeches, Carr says that he is "wrong", explaining that "ordinary people laugh at exhalation, I laugh at inspiration". The statement in the typical style of the stand-up is coming to an end: "like a goose preparing for battle".

So if, at the first acquaintance with Carr, the question arises whether he does not pretend that, as he himself answered: "But why pretend so?"

Immoral type

Does Jimmy Carr joke in black? Definitely. Is the topic unacceptable, in the opinion of the majority? This is also true. Does he have haters? Yes sir. Do they love him? Oh yeah, how else!

But wait, why is it loved then? To some extent because he embodies the British humor. No, there are, of course, more worthy stand-ups, not at all worse, but Carr with his equanimity, sharp language, improvisation - for him there are no taboo topics. And people want to feel this freedom, to hear what they themselves would not dare say, letting go of the stereotypical framework.

Of course, there are those who call the humor of Jimmy Carr nothing more than "sorting." Well, given that the comedian is clearly walking on thin ice, now and then bending the stick, in intellectuality, he also can not refuse. He is smart, like all worthy people who take up stand-up in England - because this is the genre in this country.

Finally

It was said enough to understand who Jimmy Carr is. But his aphorisms and speeches will be best for him. At least once to see it definitely worth it. Maybe even tighten up for a much larger number of shows.

Finish the article with a quote from Jimmy:

"Have you ever lied to get out of an embarrassing situation? Situations get out of hand very quickly. I heard about a girl who lied to her husband about how she became pregnant. And now it's a whole religion. "
