Britain's foremost multi award winning joke technician Jimmy Carr returns with his fourth live stand up DVD, Jimmy Carr In Concert.

No one writes sharper jokes and no one delivers them better than Jimmy. He commands his audience with twisted little aphorisms, "the sort of thing you might find in a fortune cookie baked by Satan" with no-one escaping his biting wit and take no prisoners approach to subject matter.

The release also includes a stack of exclusive DVD extras, including a specially commissioned 36 minute cartoon - a montage of Jimmy Carr's most brutal audience putdowns - brought to life by a variety of animators. Here we get to see Jimmy as a life sized puppet, a line drawn cartoon and moulded out of clay as he battles and belittles audience members who have dared to heckle!

Recorded live at London's Bloomsbury Theatre, 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.

As Jimmy explains: "This DVD is exactly the same as last year's except every single word. It's rude, crude and offensive but those aren't the only reasons you'll enjoy it."
  • Suitable for 18 years and over. Not for sale to persons under age 18. By purchasing this product, you declare that you are 18 years of age and over.


  • Cartoons - a specially commissioned 36 minute animated feature starring Jimmy Carr in various animated guises interacting with his audience members whilst on tour.
  • Carrtoons Comic Strip - nine bespoke cartoon comic strips.
  • Alternative subtitles - Scouse, Glaswegian, Polish, Australian and Welsh

OK. I admit that I am a HUGE fan of Jimmy Carr so this review was always going to be biased, and it would have been easy to award 5 stars without even seeing the show, but no, I have waited until I have watched the DVD + ALL the extras before writing this and I can safely award it 5 stars without predjuduce!

This is Jimmy's 4th DVD, and like the others his performance is spilt up into sections were he simply stands there and delivers his legendary trademark one liners, then sections were he may sit down at a desk/sofa and branch off into side topics. It is impossible to say if this is better or worse than his previous efforts as humour is subjective but I found myself laughing out loud several times, particularly when he is interacting with the audience. This is fast becoming Jimmy's greatest ( & funniest) area of expertise and he has honed his own brand of audience participation into an art form (watch out for the Henry VIII scene which is just soooo funny when he includes someones MUM into his improvised act!)

The extras are very good but it is a case of quality over quantity and there is really ONE extra feature worth watching - he has recorded some (genuine) audience participation & hecklers and then a team of animaters have made little cartoons of them using many different styles - see Jimmy as a muppet, a 2D drawing, a Monty-Python-esque animation, a 3D claymation model etc etc. These are very funny and can easily stand repeated viewings. It lasts about 36 minutes and is one of the better and most original extras I have ever seen on a DVD. (One gripe; as these are recorded at live gigs all over the country the sound quality can vary immensely but I really am splitting hairs)

Please remember that like all Jimmy's shows there is a certain amount of bad language and repeated use of the C & F words, but this IS an 18 certificate. (Interestingly at one point in the show he "picks on" a 14 year old in the audience there with his parents so clearly this illustrates how parental consent should indicate wheter you let an under 18 watch it?)

All in all, if you already own any of Jimmy's previous 3 DVD's then you know what to expect and there is no reason why this should not be part of your DVD collection.

 He Couldn't Be Funnier...

Well, he probably can. But if he ever is, I think I may actually pass out from laughter. First off, my one and only criticism of this dvd being, I was at a gig on the tour itself, and yeah, maybe I'm biased, but it was so much better. The crowd were into it a bit more, it just generally made for a better/funnier time. Plus a lot of jokes from that night seem to have been cut from this dvd, which was just a little disappointing, but nothing I can't live with.

Positives, you ask? Basically, everything else! The man never fails to deliver. And what he delivers is every one liner to absolute perfection resulting in not only "fall out of your seat" laughter, but to the point where you're almost gagging for air. If he continues the trend of getting funnier, I'll be awaiting the day when I read the obituaries to find that the result of someone's death was a Carr-induced breathing failure.

The extras on this dvd, while lacking compared to the last three, are still just genius. Basically being a compilation of gags from the rest of the tour that wasn't filmed for dvd, but they're presented with often hilariously worked animations. Going by the name of Carr-toons, they're just as funny as the rest of the show, but with the added bonus of seeing Mr. Carr as a puppet!

Final mention, has to go to the subtitles. With your choice of plain English, Scouse, Glaswegian, Geordie, and more, you'll be brilliantly entertained further whether you're from this areas or just enjoy laughing at other people, and let's face it, if you're buying a Jimmy Carr dvd, we know you enjoy laughing in the face of others misery. An excellent dvd all around, and definitely worth a buy.

 Yes...He Has Done It Again!

This man does great jokes, you all know that but, its on dvd that Jimmy Carr beats others, he embraces DVD by puting excellent extras on all his dvds and not just this one. This title does include stand up not screened but put to a cartoon scene.

 the best yet!
