About this listen
Joining us at Audible Studios is British Irish stand-up comedian and television presenter Jimmy Carr.
Carr, best known for his dark one-liners and signature laugh, didn't begin life as a comedian. After studying social science and political science at Cambridge, he began working for fuel company Shell. While there, he began reading self-help books and, feeling miserable, decided to make a change - he gave up his job and learned how to write jokes, got his first gig as a stand-up and changed his life! He has been hosting comedy shows ever since, such as 8 Out of 10 Cats and its Countdown counterpart and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. He also regularly appears on panel shows such as QI and A League of Their Own.
Carr has now put his life into words in Before & Laughter, part self-help book and part memoir. We'll be chatting to him about why we’re verbs not nouns, how his 2012 tax scandal still affects him and now that he’s a dad if his jokes have become even darker.

Humour gets you through the Dark Times
His brutal honesty through laughter remains refreshing from a society that are instantly offended, and seem to have lost their sense of humour. Jimmy says it as it is, something most wish we could get away with. So many relevant stories remind us that no matter our walk of life we share similarities and laughter can be a therapeutic way through the dark times!
