That’s a really a profound insight by Jimmy Carr about “the people who need it”. I’ve been to a lot of comedy shows and 99% of the time I’m great. I arrive in great form and I leave in great form. But on one occasion a few years ago I went to a show after a bad medical diagnosis; looking back it was the best show I’ve ever attended. For two hours I just forgot and during my recovery, whenever times were tough, I just went back to that time. It got me through a lot of challenging times.
It's the thing that some don't realise when it comes to comedians, they are all playing a character. As they say here, they switch it on when needed. That character may be based on some semblance of reality but it isn't really them.
Indeed I really dislike on 8 out of 10 cats does count down where he makes some really derogatory comments about each guest when he introduces them, just makes one squirm watching it
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral If I were to witness a vicious bar fight I would be most uncomfortable, I understand the difference between that reality and what goes on in a fight-scene that I can enjoy the latter. Same thing applies here, it is a dance - but with words.
@@douglasmilton2805 I don't like Noel's own shows, including The Mighty Boosh, they are a bit too surreal and weird from what I've seen. However, I do think he's hilarious when he's a guest on a show but that's why we have different tastes.
During these interviews, you really get to appreciate how dedicated these comedians/actors are in their subject. How they study and notice everything about other artists work. I heard today Rob that you are going to be in the new Beatrix Potter film with Dawn French, really looking forward to seeing that.
Whatever you think of Jimmy Carr's comedy, he absolutely deserves all the success. Insane work ethic, stays and meets the audience after shows and is a prolific joke writer.
Another great chat. How kind of Jimmy to talk so much about you. And why not. Two lovely respectful comedians. Will always remember Jimmy's "No, you're the fattest!"
As an American, I recognize many of Rob's guests but don't know much of them. These conversations are wonderful for learning more about, "hey, it's that guy!"
Gotta say that I've never been a fan of Jimmy Carr but this was terrific. He comes across as a really decent guy. And now I know he's a fan of The Boss, he has gone even further up in my estimation. And what a brilliant anecdote...
@@Hannah-pk6iq As it was tax avoidance and not evasion, and comes under the heading of morality not criminality, and the fact that he has now paid his dues, I consider it water under the bridge. Maybe the Inland Revenue should take a look at plugging loopholes, instead of preaching to people who take advantage of them The last thing any of us need is a government that lectures us on morals ....irrespective of the party involved...
Rob, I've watched several of these chats with 'Friends' and they're excellent. Many thanks for putting the work in during what could have been feet up time.
Another enjoyable one from Team Brydon! Jimmy seemed reluctant to talk about himself, and kind of regressed into "host" mode. Rob played along graciously, which I truly respect. Two very talented pros!
Jimmy nailed it,I've been chronically ill for years , but once a year I make the effort and go and see a big name stand up ,, would love to see jimmy and rob one day
Watching Jimmy on this and Big Zuu's Big Eats shows how he is just a genuine person ready for a laugh and wanting to do a good job for everyone to enjoy. Big respect for the man
2 amazing funny comedians, actors, even though we now live in Canada, my wife is from Llanelli, an Englishman who married a good Welsh lass. Take care Rob, & stay safe
My only exposure to Jimmy Carr is Countdown and 8 out of 10 Cats and he comes across as such a jerk in a lot of those. But he was so warm and caring and made me really like him. I'm grateful for the interview and the opportunity to see him outside of the character he plays on those other shows.
Jimmy Carr is great at stand-up. I first see him at Bound & Gagged at the back of The Fox pub in Palmers Green, a very small venue in comparison, and he really stood out from his show, and it was very shortly afterwards that he was dominating the telly with his wit. Only got to see his performance again a year or so ago at O2, and he killed it, great night
"Half time for life" A slip away sentence with a weight of wisdom and philosophical appreciation for current times. Jimmy, I just wanted to apricate that.
Late seeing this. How delightful to see Jimmy Carr au naturel!! Such a different presentation (not a personal favourite on screen usually), so much softer and utterly charming! Glad I've seen him like this (if 3 yrs late!)
Rob, I love the idea of you doing music. Honestly I think because it is naturally a joyful thing for you to do, it would be infectious. People need that and want it much more than the scathing, 'fashionable' critical perspective. ❤️
Hi Sarah, thanks for the lovely comment! If you want to take a look, all of the information for Rob's tour can be found here 😊 robbrydon.live/ - Alex, Channel Manager x
Brilliant as always. Jimmy Carr is a great interview/chat guest and has a (pleasantly surprising) intelligent approach to comedy and working in comedy. There was a similarly good piece with him and Noel Fielding for the virtual edition of Just for Laughs this year. Thanks and congratuwelldone from Canada for these - really helps with lockdown life halftime...
I'm one of that minority percent that really appreciates that extra effort Jimmy .... I won't explain it and I don't think I could but it's nice to see there's people that don't require the explanation ..
Watching Human Remains this week. Can only manage one episode at a time. Brutally funny, disturbing, sad brilliant characters. Rob & Julia, always, and forever
Watching from Canada. This is just what my heart needs right now. Thank you, Rob! I discovered you a few years ago on WILTY via UA-cam and am delighted every time I find your new shows. Most British stuff is hard to find over here so I have to hunt but worth it! Just watched Blinded By the Light and loved your scene stealing turn in the serenading scene! Pure joy!
I bought tickets to see Jimmy Carr in 2018, for the 2019 show. Get to 2019 and he reschedules for March 2020 due to filming committments. Fast forward to Covid and is now booked for April 2021, so I have everything crossed its safer by then! Love watching is old routines on youtube.
I love watching comedians explaining their art. Jimmy talking with Frankie Boyle a bout where the boundaries lie was fascinating. I couldn't get a ticket for Ro b's last gig at St Albans, but this interview makes me want to see you all the more. So jealous of Jimmy hanging out with Bruce- have seen Bruce 14 times... Jimmy 3!
Best show I've ever seen was Dylan Moran in Nottingham. It was the end of a long tour for him and his entire set was aimed at becoming middle aged at a room full of students. He went off a tangent at the end about missing his family and being tired. It was really tender and spontaneous. It Was rare.

What a great chat. You both are great and always entertaining! Jimmy and the “green room” story was hilarious 😂. 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is one of my go to shows. The main players are great! I do pretty good most days...at times, getting it faster or right when the others don’t. Hope to see you live one day. Living my best life in San Diego, CA. Stay safe.
Just discovered Rob's UA-cam channel ! What a treat ! John Bishop then Jimmy Carr, three of my favourite people/comics in two videos, fantastic ! Thank you for this, Rob, or is it Alex ? hehe....the prodyoucer says !
Marion and Geoff is in my top 3 for most cerebral and clever British comedy. It's absolutely amazing; so beautifully nuanced. I would encourage any Rob Brydon fan (or just anyone for that matter) to check it out.
I know someone who used to work in a posh hotel and although he admitted to never really being much of a fan of Jimmy Carr in terms of his comedy, he said that whenever Jimmy stayed in the hotel he was always really nice and genuine with all the staff.
These are brilliant, Rob. Never knew you had a YT channel until today. I've watched all the "big ones" so far. P.S when are you touring in Bristol again?
I'm a foster carer I see so much sadness in this world so many tears but you two guys give me tears of laughter honestly I have to remove my glasses because I can't see you put a spring in my step that I pass on to children LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD thanks guys x

Yes. Its lovely he is aware and acknowledges how his talent is needed and appreciated. A good honest laugh is such a remedy.💙
Hearing Jimmy saying he performs for those that need it, that's special. That's a great mentality to have.
"I always think about the people there who really need it."
Jimmy does have a heart!

There is something genuinely pleasing about hearing someone talk about their craft and loving it, really like Jimmy's attitude towards his work.

One legendary comedian and one legend.
From an American who really appreciates and thanks all of you for your fabulous humor
Nice to see Jimmy with the mask off, revealing his incredibly warm and insightful side.

Thanks Andy! It's so lovely to read comments like this and to hear that people are loving watching them as much as we love producing them! - Alex
