Jimmy Carr

I went to see Jimmy Carr's latest show 'The Repeat Offender' at the Clyde Auditorium on the 23rd of March 2008. He is a stand-up comedian and has also featured in his own show '8 out of 10 cats'. I have never seen a comedian perform before, and was extremely impressed with his engagement with the audience. I couldn't stop laughing to the extent my face actually started to hurt. Jimmy uses the audience as a target to set up his jokes, and constantly refers to their culture and tradition. This is not a show for the easily offended, as you cannot hide from his sarcastic comments and witty charm . The audience is placed right in front of the stage, and Jimmy walks on, a curtain is not needed. This shows that the whole act takes the form of Jimmy telling what could be a story to the audience, in which they are forever being included. Props are used to illustrate the story being told, but only at certain points in which a couch, table and chairs are used to lead on to a line up of a joke. Through his great acting and comic efforts, he presented a great show, and exceeded the expectations of the earlier reviews.
