Detailed Information

Multi-award-winning comedian Jimmy Carr continues his quest to entertain the masses with the release of his second live stand-up DVD, simply titled, Stand Up.

Armed with his trademark one-liners and gags ranging from the slick to the downright sick, the charming, middle-class posh boy with the scathing tongue escapes the restraints of the TV studio and takes his dry and sardonic style to a new level in this DVD.

Filmed earlier this year in front of a packed house at London’s legendary Bloomsbury Theatre, Stand Up shows Jimmy at his most contentious, as he comments on life’s taboos, unleashing his jokes and offensive putdowns. And it seems that no-one and nothing is safe from Jimmy’s cutting remarks as he delves into a diverse range of subjects, including religion, women’s rights, domestic violence, threesomes…

“I broke up with a girl once because she lied about her weight. I say that, she died in a bungee jumping accident.”

“I’ve got a friend whose nickname is ‘shagger’. You might think that’s pretty cool. She doesn’t like it.”

“What is it about being blind that makes you want to walk the dog all the time?”
