Jimmy Carr - Repeat Offender

BIC Windsor Hall
"A masterclass in comedy…Carr's persona is irresistible and his wisecracks have
you quivering with satisfaction." Guardian
"Definitely get into Carr… He’s the Rolls Royce of Comedy." Metro UK
"Top quality stand-up from a comic operating at the top of his game." Empire
It’s been another manic year for Jimmy. His sell out 130 date tour in 2006/7,
Gag Reflex, played to well over 175,000 fans across the country. At this year’s
Edinburgh Festival Jimmy launches his all new tour Repeat Offender with 8 nights
at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Repeat Offender is
Jimmy’s biggest tour yet, where he’ll play to over 200,000 fans over the next 12
months. The tour contains all-new, unseen material, completely updated from that
seen in any of his previous performances and DVD releases. Many dates have
already sold out and new ones are constantly being added (details at
www.jimmycarr.com).
As Jimmy explains: “This isn’t a show for the easily offended, it’s not even a
show for people who are quite difficult to offend. Essentially, this is a show
for people without a moral compass.”
Armed with his trademark one-liners and gags ranging from the slick to the
downright sick, Comedian shows Jimmy at his most contentious, with no-one
escaping his biting, withering sarcasm and take-no-prisoners approach to subject
matter.
Never one to recycle jokes, Jimmy takes his dry and sardonic style and
delightfully crafted one-liners to a whole new level with a raft of new
tongue-in-cheek gags which often border on sexism, male misogyny and snobbery –
but all successfully carried off by crediting his audience with enough
intelligence to be in on the joke and able to keep up with his rampant wit.
Following the huge success of his Live Collection (the box set of Jimmy’s first
2 stand up DVD’s), the multi-award-wining Jimmy Carr returns with his third live
stand up DVD, simply titled Comedian. Featuring over 90 minutes of new,
uncensored material, the eagerly anticipated release also includes over an hour
of exclusive, never-seen-before DVD extras from one of the biggest faces in
comedy (in every sense of the word).
Recorded live this year at London’s Bloomsbury theatre, the posh-suited gagster
unleashes his rapid-fire wit upon his audience, with jokes that are just too
rude for TV. Jimmy walks a fine line with truly outrageous gags that would be
thoroughly offensive if not so expertly delivered with an ironic glint in his
eye, demonstrating the length and breadth of his comedy credentials.
DVD extras include: Thumbing In A Softie – Jimmy’s exclusive DVD Sketch Show;
coverage of Jimmy’s one-off Second Life gig, where he became the first major
comedian to do a live gig in the virtual reality world; footage from Soccer Six,
Rubber Face Jimmy (featuring Leigh Francis of Bo Selecta) plus Jimmy’s classic
radio interviews with Chris Moyles and Steve Wright.
Over 16’s recommended.
