In short

Jimmy Carr does crowdwork in Oxford, England, roasting and bantering with audience members about dating, sex jokes, awkward confessions, and “cancelled” comedy, with recurring bits about Zac Efron, Morris dancing, and a bizarre “leg amputation” story.

Guest backgrounds

Giovanna (Greek-Italian, claims she’s “mentally unstable”), John (physics student, wears shorts), Phoebe (English student), Rian (laughs like Jimmy), Sophie (claims she loves Zac Efron; says she’s at the show with a friend who invited a man from the car park), Oliver Pointer McLean (carp; caught in a breakup/cheating scenario; later a friend reveals a cousin Sarah), and a man awaiting leg amputation due to “thrush.”

Key claims

Jimmy repeatedly insists he can’t provide Zac Efron’s number; he jokes about “don’t stick your dick in crazy,” condoms, and “career-enders.”

Notable examples

“Viagra smells like rat’s piss,” “Morris dancers wear bells so blind people know they’re cunts,” and the punchline that the thrush patient will go “full pirate mode” with a stick prosthetic.

0:01I'm not giving up. I am selling the building. The final season of FX is the bear. The restaurant is flooded. Everything's either going to be okay. Or not. We are outgunned and we are outmanned. We have each other. FX is the bear. The final season. All episodes now streaming on Disney+. Oh, hello, my name's Jimmy Carr. This is Jimmy Carr Crowdwork where Jimmy Carr, that's me, does crowd work. That's me talking to people like you in crowds. Um, this is me in Oxford dealing with a lady who weirdly wanted Zac Efron's number as if I would have that. Enjoy. Do I like Chris Evans? Which Chris Evans? I know two Chris Evans.

0:51The radio DJ? Fucking tremendous man. What? You were checking to see if I liked him. I do like him.

1:08This feels a bit... It feels a bit like we're on a bus together. You've just taken off your headphones and gone, Do you like Chris Evans? He's good, isn't he? He is good. He's a fucking lovely man, yeah. Any other? Yeah. Hiya. Hi. This really feels like we've got the bus. Hiya. Hiya. You all right? Hello, Doc. Go on. Do you think that you're actually funny?

3:04I'm mentally unstable. Why did you come to Oxford? I'm mentally unstable. It's not... It's the answer that a mentally unstable person would give. What, what, what, how do you mean you're mentally unstable? Just stuff. Just stuff. I only think you should get a second opinion on that, because that feels like quite a vague diagnosis. While I would love to chat further, you seem like a genuine... What's your name? Giovanna. Giovanna. Pretty sure you're pronouncing that wrong. I wouldn't be a dick about it, you're mentally unstable as it is, but... I'd love to chat further, Giovanna, but I think it would contravene the first rule.

3:49We're all aware of the first rule. Don't stick your dick in crazy.

3:58This bitch is crazy. She's just... Do you think you're funny?

4:08Lady, you paid to be in a room with me. I don't know what the fuck to tell you. Oh, you think you're funny? Yeah! I'm fucking hilarious. It's gonna turn out she's from Swindon.

4:50I don't really follow the logic there, but it's... I'm loving it. You don't know where that came from? Has someone just come on you? What? Jesus. Jesus. You were quiet to start, but you're warming up, aren't ya? Why are both your buttons on your waistcoat undone? Why are both your buttons on your waistcoat undone? I suppose I'm just worn out the button. You're wearing the same suits as the eyes of the fours, and you can't get it right. I'm very sorry, sir. I feel underdressed. No, the humiliation of that. He's right, I had one too many buttons undone there, but also I was corrected sartorily by Britain's biggest toddler.

8:00You're crazy. You're a crazy lady. I mean, I like it, but crazy. Hi, Jimmy. We watched a man break a Morris dancing Guinness World Record today in Abingdon. So you'll be the second funniest thing we've seen today.

8:25Who went to see the Morris dancing? Me. Hi. You went to see the Morris dancing? Do you know much about Morris dancing? I know a little bit about the history of it. My dad's been a Morris dancer since before I was born. Your dad's been a Morris dancer since before you were born? Well, the reason Morris dancers wear bells, do you know why? It's so blind people know they're cunts too.

8:52They want to be inclusive. Ah! What's he?

9:02Your brother's a folk musician? Well, I put that in a different bracket. He was what? He was the last thing you saw on this stage? Hang on, this is going to end up with it being haunted. What, what? Is he, he plays here? Yeah. Okay.

9:23Cool. Thanks. Thanks for coming to the show. What else have we got? Have you had penis reduction surgery? Have I had penis reduction surgery? Yeah, and I'm very happy with one.

9:40I don't want to be a dick about it, but this guy's got a weird laugh, hasn't he?

9:50You've got the same, what's your name? Hi, Rian. Jimmy. I feel like we should be in a church basement discussing our laughs. And this has gone horribly wrong. Jimmy, I love Zac Efron. You, what, sorry? I love Zac Efron. You love Zac Efron. I don't know if I can help you there. Do you not have any connection? I got drunk with him last year in Australia. No, two years ago in Australia. We had fun, yeah. OK. And you have his number still? I... Er... Yeah, but why would I...? He's really... I don't want to... I'm really great. I think he's out of your league.

10:42And it's not really a margin call. You're like a different species to me.

10:54No offense, what's your name? Come on, you know this.

11:02Come on, what's your name? Sophie. You think her name's Sophie? It's not a fucking guessing game. We're not having a fucking... You know her, do you? She's my friend. She's your friend. We're at school with her. Does everyone know Sophie? Sophie wants to fuck Zac Efron and thinks maybe I could help. It strikes me as fucking... Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have eczema. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about EBCLIS. EBCLIS Lubrikizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.

12:22Or call 1-800-LILLY-RX or 1-800-545-5979. Being desperate at best. No, Sophie. That's your husband? You all right, mate?

12:41I don't know much about you, I know you've got a dimmer switch in the bedroom.

12:57I don't know.

13:02Good luck.

13:09I'll investigate. What do you mean you got your date from the car park?

13:18Your friend couldn't make it so you invited this guy from the car park? Well you finished sucking him off and went, you can come to a show. What do you mean from the car park? I didn't want to come on my own. You didn't want to come on your own? Well, you shouldn't have been sitting on that then. Okay, hi, man, how are you? All good, man. So you just met a strange lady in the car park, and she went, do you want to come to a show? And here you are. Yeah, and I live literally just that, yeah. Well, nice to have you here. Hope you're having a fun night. This is pretty funny, and you also probably get to fuck that later.

13:56I'd wear two condoms.

14:01Belt and braces, I wouldn't take a risk with that. You got your hand up, please. Go ahead, man. I'm just wondering, are you too scared to retell that joke? Are you too scared to retell that joke? That joke, the joke on Netflix that almost got you cancelled. The joke that almost got me cancelled? Oh, I'm going to tell worse jokes than that. Don't you worry about a fucking thing. Getting cancelled is nothing. I mean, fucking, you know, look around. It's fine. Next time I tell a joke that upsets people, I'm gonna say, I'm sorry. And the people that are offended will say, you don't really mean that apology.

14:41And I'll say, so you're saying I can say something and not mean it. Now you're getting it.

14:54I'll do some proper career-enders at the end, don't you worry about a thing. Have you ever come close to death? Have I ever come close to death? Yeah, but I cleaned up the DNA

15:09It smelled like death, yeah Ah!

15:22What the fuck is that?

15:28Can I suck my own dick? Yeah, of course I can. I just need a knife and determination.

15:40And the award for optimism goes to... How was the Jimmy Carr gig last night? Yeah, it was all right, it was pretty funny, a lot of one-liners. Yeah, if you like that kind of thing, it was good. Weird at the end, though, that he sucked his own dick. I thought that was a weird end to the show. Ah! Help you get a girlfriend? Okay. Do you want to fuck in?

16:10That was easy.

16:15Sophie? No. Meet me in the car park? Meet me in the car park? Are we organising some sort of dogging later on? Just picking up strange men, are you? Christ. Oliver Pointer McLean. After seven magical years together, this feels like the perfect time to say, I'm leaving you. I know you slept with my cousin, Sam.

16:48Oliver? Where's Oliver? I think he might need a hug. Hi Oliver. Hi, can we turn up the lights? Where's... Where are you Oliver? You alright mate? Did you sleep with the cousin? What's that? No. No?
