How every film is hand-scored →

Jimmy Carr returns with a brand new live stand-up DVD. Recorded live at London's Bloomsbury theatre, Jimmy unleashes brand new material upon his audience that is just too rude for TV, taking his dry and sardonic wit and delightfully crafted jokes to a whole new level

Our read · Jimmy Carr: Stand Up (2005) reads as a warm, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.

If Jimmy Carr is your film
Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (1998)
witty British stand-up with physical flair and stories
(less one-liner heavy style)
Dylan Moran: Monster (2004)
acerbic observational comedy with literary bent
(Irish whimsy over dry English sarcasm)
Ricky Gervais: Animals (2003)
provocative stand-up pushing boundaries on topics
(more animal philosophy than Carr's punchlines)
