Jimmy Carr got on the Jubilee Line in London and sat opposite me. He clearly noticed that I recognised him, but I never said anything to him as assumed he gets fed up with that. When he got off at St Johns Wood he looked at me and said "have a good day". Nice of him to appreciate that I had left him in peace.

I went to see Jimmy Carr a month ago and it was one of the best stand up shows I've been to. I've run comedy clubs in the past so I've seen a lot of comedians! Yes he can be close to the bone but they are JOKES, but that's made obvious and they always come from a good place. Nobody walked out of this show. And I've never seen anybody better than him when talking with the audience - he actually ENCOURAGED heckles and I've barely seen anyone respond with better off the cuff one liners than him. Seriously, go and see him

[@rttmh]

Went to a Jimmy Carr gig at the end of March (testing his jokes on a real audience for an upcoming tour). He was brilliant. Basically he performs the kind of material that the audience laughs at, and then everyone feels guilty at laughing. No-one walked out - they knew what to expect.

one of the funniest Jimmy Carr game shows was "I literally just told you" the second episode of which the contestents were so bad at remembering things Jimmy nearly has a breakdown its really worth a watch (the premiss of the show is that apart from the starter rounds most of the questions are about anything that happens during the show as written by question writers on a panel.

Jimmy Carr is one of my favourite comedians, for his speed of thought and word play. Some other favourites are: Sean Lock (RIP) for his relatable mad guy next door persona, Ross Noble for being energetically nuts, Dara O'Briain for his story-telling, but there are so many more. If there's one thing the Brits have in spades, it's top-notch and diverse comedians. PS: I don't think many, if any, people walk out of Jimmy's sets, it's well known what you're going to get. And he does do a lot of quick 1-2 liners, broken up with the odd longer gag.

[@GroinStrain_]

My favourite British comedian is probably Lee Evans. So brilliant, active, so physical, so talented, great singer. Real shame he retired but fair play for being happy with life with his family

James Acaster as well as Lee Mack are two of my absolute favourites personally, both have the quick wit that I love and even tend use myself whenever I crack a joke, but they also have two entirely different styles of comedy which are both great imo. there’s also a lot of not-technically “comedians” that I just find absolutely hilarious, KZbinrs especially. Blarg and really all the members of The Goons really hit the mark perfectly for me

[@jamesgornall5731]

I don't like, 'Not Going Out,' but really like Lee Mack's stand-up. I don't know why, because it's essentially Lee Mack playing Lee Mack.

Ross Noble is the best in my opinion. His whole show notes consist of about 4 dot points on a page and he just goes out and starts with the first dot points, and goes off on random tangents… yet… ALWAYS brings it back to the points 😅

I have seen Jimmy Carr three times - one of those the show was about how many jokes he can do in one night (we got up to 1500 ish). But he does take breaks where he allows the audience to heckle him. (which is incredibly funny). Other than that, obvious one to react to is Al Murray's Pub Landlord (specifically the World - I think its called, when he goes around every country GB has owned, conquered or conquered by default) Older ones, being more tv series being: Some Mother do Ave em' (my picture) The Two Ronnies (specifically - Four Candles sketch) Only Fools and Horses (specifically - The bar sketch) Other one liners: (yes some of these are american/canadian but they mainly do GB scene) Tim Vine Stuart Francis Milton Jones

He's brutal

[@DieHard0]

I've seen him live twice in Canada, and the stadium was packed both times. One of the things with his live tours are people go specifically to get picked on and insulted by him. I personally didn't see anyone leave either of them, but I could certainly see that happening. One thing to keep in mind is that the jokes you see online aren't really anywhere close to his actual most 'offensive' jokes...he saves those for his live tours, even mentioning that people aren't allowed to record specifically because he knows if some of the jokes he tells were to 'get out' he would be cancelled. And after hearing them, I can certainly understand his concern over some of them...they take brutal to a whole new level. Personally, I find his comedy on the panel shows like 8 Out Of 10 Cats overall funnier, mostly because he is playing off of other comedians who can usually give as good as they take, but his stand up is interesting to witness. And yes, a good amount of the time he is doing one-off jokes, although there are a lot of call-backs during the set, with jokes referencing earlier jokes.

[@muguk]

Dave Allen (I had to watch re-runs as I was only a nipper when his original TV series were on). As a teenager I was introduced to the classics by Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, so maybe I've been lucky generation-wise. Growing up there were plenty of British comedians who were trying to emulate their sort of humour, but they were always unbroadcastable until they released their shows on VHS/DVD. Which ended up with a glut of them on the DVD shelves around Xmas time. There's also Viz magazine which has been going around for 35+ years. All in all, far too many to choose from. Their Profanisaurus is a good book to acquire (no longer updated). I've bought and donated a few copies to friends of mine in Germany over the years :)

Andrew Dice Clay put out a stand up double album "The Day the Laughter Died" in 1990 that is a masterpiece in offensive comedy.

I saw him live for the first time a few months ago, and he could go from being quite sensitive and respectful, especially in the parts of the show where he interacts with the audience, to saying things that made your jar drop. But the interesting thing was everyone seemed to have their own limit point. He could make a joke where half the audience laughed and the other half took a sharp intake of breath. Then make another joke and get the same response, but from two different halves of the audience.

[@gert8439]

Five minutes of Jimmy Carr is enough for me. Frankie Boyle adds more to the same formula and takes it new places.
