Jimmy Carr: Rapier WitThe hardest working man in comedy, Jimmy Carr, brings his acerbic (and often vile) scattergun gags to venues across London this autumn as part of his new Rapier Wit tour. No sooner has Carr's Joke Technician tour ended and the funny-faced stand-up is back with something far more rude and crude. A quick browse on Chortle will yield many complaints about Carr's crassness: "too many disgusting sex jokes," laments one; "total appalling use of foul offensive material," harrumphs another; "the show at times is that bad it makes you feel sick," offers a third, gagging. Well, judge for yourself with this selection of his famous recent one-liners: "I keep on getting mistaken for Alan Carr - so I've stopped sucking men off", "As an adult, wetting a child's bed is mortifying", "When I was a kid I was scared of the dentist - he was a paedophile" or (betraying his Cambridge degree) "I'm middle class, but I'm hard. Al dente, you might say". Like Marmite, Carr splits opinion; those who love him will be in fits, but if you're sensitive and easily offended, best do the others a favour and stay at home.
 

About Brixton Academy

This former cinema with its art deco interior, proscenium arch and 140ft dome is London's most celebrated venue for live music, winning Best Live Venue at the NME awards for 7 years in a row. The famous sloping floor means there are great views wherever you're standing, though keeping your feet can be a problem at the more raucous rock gigs. More about Brixton Academy
