This episode was recorded on November 02, 2021.Jimmy Carr is an award-winning comedian, author, and TV host. Carr recently came under fire for the career-enders subsection in His Dark Material, a Netflix special that’s deemed “deeply offensive” or “faithful to its title,” depending on who you ask. Carr’s latest book, Before & Laughter, is part memoir, part life advice, and mostly funny. We had a stimulating conversation about human nature, comedy and the physiology of laughter, experiencing jokes, half-filled rooms, truth, growth, self-deprecation, love languages, religion, and the 15’ replica of his head. His Dark Material:https://netflix.com/title/81478151Before & Laughter: The funniest man in the UK’s genuinely useful guide to life:https://amazon.com/gp/product/B09H7MTJJL/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0Carr’s Twitter:https://twitter.com/jimmycarr& Instagram:https://instagram.com/jimmycarrTake the Understand Myself personality assessment:https://understandmyself.com________________Chapters________________[00:00] Intro[01:47] Jimmy’s 15’ Head[03:05] Biggest Venues [07:22] Comedy & Collab[13:06] Half-filled Rooms[15:25] Laughter[18:47] Satire & Self-deprecation[23:20] Comedy & Perspective[25:18] Physiological Effects [27:49] Live Shows[32:43] Carr’s ‘Understand Myself’ Assessment[35:04] Contempt & Responsibility [40:37] Backstage Life[44:52] Nature & Nurture[47:54] Flow [55:36] Christianity[01:01:15] The Promise of an Afterlife[01:05:22] Understanding Myself II[01:09:40] Love Languages & Personality[01:11:15] Hard Times[01:13:41] Best Ever Comedians [01:21:20] Live Shows II[01:24:04] Evading Cancellation [01:26:33] Jokes & Truth[01:29:55] Carr’s Appreciation for Jordan[01:32:50] Outro#Comedy #Truth #JimmyCarr #CancelCulture #Flow Learn more about your ad choices.
