Advantages: Fast paced and topical joke telling at its best Disadvantages: DVD Extras could have been better
Jimmy Carr is obviously a man who loves his work - on a recent chat show he explained that on completing a mammoth one hundred and sixty date tour he simply starts all over again. He spends more than half his life travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles delivering his unique deadpan rapid fire style of joke telling and observations on life, love and the worlds many problems. And for me it's not hard to see why he enjoys touring so ... ...people will be familiar with Jimmy Carr as the host of the successful Channel four quiz show 'eight out of ten cats', but if you were expecting more of the same you may well be disappointed.

First of all , the man himself (I'll come to the jokes later!) is quite anoying after a little while ; he is far too cocky for my liking!)
This DVD is certainly not for the easily offended. I don't get offended very easily and enjoy ...

Britain’s fantastic comedian Jimmy Carr performs live in his fourth stand-up DVD, "Jimmy Carr In Concert".
There are exclusive DVD extras, including a 36-minute cartoon which is made up of a series of Jimmy Carr’s unique audience putdowns where Jimmy himself is an animated character, performing to the audience in a "tv show" like style.
His jokes are better, funnier and meaner this time round and as we all know, the way Jimmy performs them makes ... ...experience in your living room.
Bonus Material includes:
A fantastic and unique animated film starring Jimmy Carr himself and,
Nine brilliant cartoon comic strips.
Overall this is a great buy and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to curl up for a night of comedy!! ...
