That's audible.code.uk-wondery. Good afternoon, Michael Malice here. Let that be your welcome for the next hour. This might be the guest I've been most excited about

for months.

I'm thrilled to be here.

I'm really thrilled. Don't step on my intro. Why, what? You said you would stop it, I had me here. I had you. It's not done. I have a long intro. A long intro. Legendary Heckler, Jimmy Carr, And I'm going to tell you the whole intro,

the whole intro I have read in my head.

Here it is.

I've invented a new form of trolling.

And that new form of trolling is And I'm going to tell you the whole intro, the whole intro I have ready in my head. Okay. Here it is.

I've invented a new form of trolling. And that new form of trolling is paying people very sincere compliments because they get very uncomfortable and they don't know what to do. And then it's awkward for them and then I have my fun. So here it is. Okay. Sure. I saw your show now twice in two years. You've come to Austin. Your new show is called Jimmy Car laughs funny for some odd reason.

Think of why people get tickets at JimmyCar.com and I can promise every single listener watching this that if you go to that show, you will not regret it. And I'll tell them why the show is so excellent. I went there this past weekend. I sat down. I'm like, you know what? I'm like, not really in the mood. Because you're like, I'm not feeling it.

In seconds, I'm hypnotized.

Because the way your show works. I sat down. I'm like, you know what? I'm like not really in the mood. You've been to shows you like I'm not feeling of course in seconds

I'm hypnotized because the way your show works is it's old school punchline set up a set up punchline set up punchline So you're getting that serotonin hit low-buss like tick tock every few seconds your your quality of humor because that setup also loves itself to like dad jokes and a lot of it's you but not with you like the quality is just there and I'm sitting there in trans then what else that you do that's really smart is you stop at a certain point and do some crowd work and we can see the quality of your mind because people throw our questions and immediately you have the one-liner answer so I think the crowned finish is. Is that more? There's more. Can there be more?

That could be more. So it is a master class. It is so fun. And you also step on some landmines and make jokes about them. So it is such an honor to have seen it and to have you here. It's just a huge thrill. I'm thrilled you came. It's a very fun show to do. I always think the crowned work thing is a bit like asking magician to do real magic.

Right, so you go, you'll. It's a very fun show to do. I always think the crowd work thing is a bit like asking magician to do real magic. Right. So you go, you'll let you spend all this time in the gym writing these jokes and you have this show that's like an hour of jokes and they go, but we've got more time than that. Let's give the audience something where they feel like this could only happen in real life in this room right now as opposed to on a screen recorded and watching it back

because there's an illusion with comedy where the only person performing is the guy on

stage and that is nonsense. The audience, the whole audience, it's clear with rock and roll because you can see when you go and see Bruce Brinstein live, if Bruce Brinstein goes, how are you all doing? And everyone goes, yeah, that's appropriate. If you say that Starbucks you were escorted from the building right it's performative just being in an audience and

laughing and showing that you've got the joke and joining in and what you... It's appropriate if you say that in Starbucks you were escorted from the building right it's

performative just being in an audience and laughing and showing that you've got the joke and

joining in and what you can take and what you can't take and what seems too much.

I think it's that thing where we like it's comedians the raw we we expand the overton window
