DVD Description
Jimmy Carr marks 10 successful years in comedy with the release of his most controversial DVD to date, Telling Jokes. Featuring over 90 minutes of material that’s just too rude for television, the new DVD sees Jimmy Carr at his best; unleashing his delightfully crafted one-liners upon the nation and putting down brave hecklers.

Slick, sick and definitely not for the easily offended, Jimmy offers a masterclass in comedy as he takes his dry and sardonic wit to a whole new level. 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, sex, bullying and somewhat ironically political correctness ...

As Jimmy explains: “It’s not for the faint hearted (the faint hearted should also avoid salt).”

The DVD also features a stack of exclusive extras from Britain’s foremost, multi-award-winning joke technician.

Bonus Material

Jimmy’s Twitter Diary – The best of Jimmy’s ‘140 character’ messages, thoughts, ideas and photos sent whilst on tour using the popular social networking site Twitter are brought to life in this 20 minute extra.

Comedy Central Special – His critically acclaimed half-hour stand-up performance filmed live in New York.

Bonus Stand-up Material – Exclusive unseen out-takes and deleted scenes

Synopsis
Jimmy Carr delivers more of his cynical take on life's little absurdities in his trademark deadpan style in this live stand-up release. Jimmy unleashes his rapid-fire joke-telling and razor-sharp wit on topics ranging from religion and sex, to bullying and political correctness. Those brave enough to heckle are quickly put in their place by an array of colourful if brutal put-downs.

Customer Reviews

Comedy Genius!
I was fortunate enough to see one of his live shows ("Joke Technician") just a few weeks prior to the recording of this DVD in May - it was brilliant. This DVD showcases some of the best jokes from that tour, and new ones also. Only once or twice did I notice jokes that were in his previous DVDs, but this is full with belly-laughing material; including unique visual slide-show humour, and his attempt at creating the shortest jokes possible using just two to four words! On top of that, with a good 40-minutes of bonus features it really makes this product one of his best yet.

Overall, this DVD is a fantastic example of what Jimmy Carr can do with an audience, and if you didn't get the chance to catch his live show - and even if you did - then this is for you.

Absolutely fantastic! *****

Fantastic!!
Jimmy Carr is a true comedy genius!! Jimmy seems alot more relaxed on stage than his previous dvd's, but he's as funny and witty as ever!!

Strays from sick into cruel - disappointing
Have watched JC several times before and enjoyed. Obviously his comedy is on the absolute edge, but I thought the comments about Down's Syndrome people were beyond the bounds of acceptability. I've never known him go for the more vulnerable members of society in this way before and to lampoon physical appearance of them is simply bullying, not comedy. I hope this is not a game of dare with Frankie Boyle as to who can go too far.
