Jimmy Carr

Many people hate Jimmy Carr. He is irritating. Apart from the fact that he adorns virtually every one of those lame clip shows that come on with the Monday dread at about 9pm on TV, he is also intolerably smug. However, there is at least a reason. In comedy circles, Carr is revered for his total mastery of the one liner, the snide aside, and the gag. If you listen to one of his routines, you realise that every sentence, every clause, is a joke. He is a genius. In short, it's fine to hate Jimmy Carr in fact it probably shows good taste, but if you get a chance to see him performing stand up, don't miss out.
