Louis Theroux

Hello there, and welcome back to the Louis Theroux podcast, or if you're watching it on Spotify, the Louis Theroux Slightly Shit TV Show.

I just came up with that.

Do you like that?

That's quite funny.

Well, the last series may be over, but guess what?

I'm back, surprise, with some festive cheer and a bonus Christmas episode.

I'm joined by none other than writer, comedian, and panel show host with the most, Jimmy Carr.

Jimmy has been a mainstay of the UK comedy scene for nearly 20 years.

He is one of the busiest jobbing comedians in the world.

His last tour sold over 1.2 million tickets globally.

That's a big number.

Making it the biggest ever international stand-up tour.

I mean, he's British, but he has a following in America, definitely Australia.

So yeah, those numbers might even be true.

He's probably best known for his rapid fire, often darkly humorous one-liners.

He spits them out like a comedic spitfire.

He does amazing crowd work as well.

And in fact, at the moment, there are many compilations of his audience interactions online that you can find in your favorite social media feed.

He's got his wits about him.

He's got that thing where someone in the crowd can give him some attitude and he gives it right back to them.
