This episode was recorded on November 02, 2021. Jimmy Carr is an award-winning comedian, author, and TV host. Carr recently came under fire for the career-enders subsection in His Dark Material, a Netflix special that’s deemed “deeply offensive” or “faithful to its title,” depending on who you ask. Carr’s latest book, Before & Laughter, is part memoir, part life advice, and mostly funny.  We had a stimulating conversation about human nature, comedy and the physiology of laughter, experiencing jokes, half-filled rooms, truth, growth, self-deprecation, love languages, religion, and the 15’ replica of his head.  His Dark Material: https://netflix.com/title/81478151 Before & Laughter: The funniest man in the UK’s genuinely useful guide to life: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B09H7MTJJL/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 Carr’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimmycarr & Instagram: https://instagram.com/jimmycarr Take the Understand Myself personality assessment: https://understandmyself.com ________________ Chapters ________________ [00:00] Intro [01:47] Jimmy’s 15’ Head [03:05] Biggest Venues  [07:22] Comedy & Collab [13:06] Half-filled Rooms [15:25] Laughter [18:47] Satire & Self-deprecation [23:20] Comedy & Perspective [25:18] Physiological Effects  [27:49] Live Shows [32:43] Carr’s ‘Understand Myself’ Assessment [35:04] Contempt & Responsibility  [40:37] Backstage Life [44:52] Nature & Nurture [47:54] Flow  [55:36] Christianity [01:01:15] The Promise of an Afterlife [01:05:22] Understanding Myself II [01:09:40] Love Languages & Personality [01:11:15] Hard Times [01:13:41] Best Ever Comedians  [01:21:20] Live Shows II [01:24:04] Evading Cancellation  [01:26:33] Jokes & Truth [01:29:55] Carr’s Appreciation for Jordan [01:32:50] Outro #Comedy #Truth #JimmyCarr #CancelCulture #Flow Learn more about your ad choices.
