Step into a local Crocs store and step into your new look. Try it. Style it. Make it yours. Because the right pair doesn't just show up, it shows off. First day fits, handled. Walk out ready for whatever's next. Visit your nearest Crocs store today. Hello, I'm Jimmy Carr. Welcome to Cradlework. This is me in Atlantic City. You dream of someone this dumb in the front row. That's what we call the episode. Enjoy. What's who? Hello. You're having a terrific time. God love you.
0:47What's your name, madam? Jackie. Hi, Jackie. What do you do, Jackie? I teach. You teach? Is that a good idea?
0:58When you say you teach, Jackie, do you mean you serve as an example to others? Know your limits, alcohol-wise. Jackie. It's valuable work you're doing, Jackie. Actually, while I've got you, Atlantic City, a quick public service announcement. Ladies, the secret to the perfect handjob. Use your mouth.
1:26Sorry, Jackie has... That's not a hand job. That's not a hand job. That is the definition of not a hand job. Right, Jackie. Has anyone got a pen? That's a blow job, apparently. Thank you, Jackie. I've got to ask Jackie, are you retarded?
1:49You think I might be retarded?
1:55Sir, when plying a woman with booze, you took it away already? Okay.
2:10Sir, what's your name? Jimmy. Your name's Jimmy. Hi, Jimmy. I feel like you could do better.
2:27Jimmy just went, are you available?
2:33I'm sorry. Throw her out! Throw her out? The hilarious drunk retarded lady.
2:47Who doesn't seem to understand what jokes are. I don't think we'll be throwing her out. She's an absolute fucking gift.
3:04You dream of someone this dumb in the fucking front row.
3:12if you've ever wondered Atlantic City our kids don't seem to be doing well academically
3:21I think I might have found the fucking answer
3:35you are of course welcome to stay Go on. I realise that's the first time you've actually laughed. The first time I've actually laughed? We love your laugh. Oh, thank you very much. Thanks very much. Different people are getting different things out of this show. Jackie is happy to be spending a night indoors.
4:04I might tell a few jokes. I just quickly... They're jokes, Jackie. Not literal. Yes? I don't give a fuck. You don't give a fuck? No, why would you give a fuck? So quite a short little skirt for the front row, I would tell you. Hey, let's look at the positive. Your cervix is fine.
4:31You're right, I had cancer. You're right, I had cancer. All right, Jackie, keep it light. Security is standing by to escort you from the building.
4:46Good luck, it's a fucking live one.
4:52This is fun.
4:57Where's the best place to bury a body around here? Ask him for a friend.
5:08is if one partner shows contempt towards what the other stupid bitch is blathering on about. Speaking of which...
5:26Other Jimmy, we're gonna start a GoFundMe. Shhh shhh shhh shhh. No, seriously, it's my husband's fault. It's your husband's fault? Jimmy. Oh, poor Jimmy. Come back, Jimmy! Jimmy! Oh no, Jimmy's a nice guy. She's, listen, she's just had too much to drink, it's alright? That happens? We all do that from time to time? Whoo! Sorry, a lady just looked at me and went, not like that, no. No. No, I don't. Huh? Wow. Wow. We're not going to leave, don't worry. You're not going to leave. The rest of us aren't going to leave. Oh, some people will. I'd wager it's going to get quite edgy towards the end. Ah!
6:16Let's see how I do. This is fucking fun though, isn't it? Great place. Not bad for him.
6:29I don't know how Jimmy's coping with that, but... We named our dog Jimmy Carr. I have never enjoyed getting a dog neutered so much. You named your dog Jimmy Carr, and you've never enjoyed having a dog neutered so much. So your standard enjoyment for getting a dog neutered is... You enjoy, you know, not so much. But this time, oh... I'll do it with my teeth.
7:06Thank you. I don't know if it's the best name for a dog. Jimmy Carr. Because, I mean, my name does sound like Jamaica. If you say it in a Jamaican accent, that's something, isn't it? Jamaica.
7:22Who's your favorite immediate? I'm gonna go with this speech impediment guy.
7:32Is there any tips to keep your relationships fresh?
7:39Sir, I think you are the gift that keeps on giving. Just fucking... Just whisper sweet nothings into our ears. We should be having a fantastic times.
7:55I would suggest dating someone with a d-sh in their name. What the fuck is going on there? What's that? Dry mouth. That's not one of my recommendations for keeping the spark in the relationship. I'd recommend dry mouth. How long have you been together with your lady? 12 years. You'll be all right. I mean, coming out to a show and laughing together, I would say is probably a fucking great idea. Date night is a great idea generally, I think. What do you think? Yeah. You have to make plans. You can't just let it fucking happen, otherwise the kids and life fucking takes over. You've got to make plans.
8:41You've got to come out. You've got to do fun stuff. How long have we been together? How long have you guys been together? 54 years. 54 years. Madam. I don't know why you're clapping. If you'd killed him when you first thought about it, you'd be out by now.
9:07Do it now, serve your time, come on! Very well dressed, you two. Probably glamorous. I think you may have come for Atlantic City 50 years too late. God love you. Fucking Boardwalk Empire's in. What kind of advice would it give to a beginning comic who wants to take the next step? What kind of advice would it give to a comic, a beginning comic that wants to take the next step? It's self-assignment comedy. It's a writing exercise. Just write jokes all the time. And new comics don't watch enough comedy. Are you giving comedy a go? My son is a stand-up comedy film. Oh, well wonderful. Well, I think that thing of like watching specials every single day, having the language of it in your head, and then just writing.
9:52It's a writing job. If you can write 200 brilliant jokes, you'd be a fucking star. Woo, like you! Yes.
10:02Sorry, I've got to just check. Did you all hear that, or was that the voice in my head?
10:10The voice in my head is surprisingly working class. Like you.
10:20Like you. I've taken time off from the toll booth to be here. Like you. I fucking love it. You sound like a cartoon. It's wonderful. Go on. You are an inspiration to have this much confidence and absolutely no reason for it.
10:48It's a great heckle. I think it would be much more hurtful had you not paid to be in a room with me.
11:00That's more for on the street. But confidence without evidence is delusion, right? Yeah. What do you do, sir? I'm in sales. You're in sales. Of course you fucking are. Confident man. What do you sell? Sales training. You sell what? You sell sales training.
11:30Hey Chicago, class it up with Crocs. You know back to school is coming in fast. So why wait to find your new fave footwear? Step into a local croc store and step into your new look. Try it. Style it. Make it yours. Because the right pair doesn't just show up. It shows off. First day fits, handled. Walk out ready for whatever's next. Visit your nearest croc store today. So if people don't buy the sales training, you go, well, your loss if people don't buy it it feels this is like a riddle it's like who delivers the forklift truck a bigger forklift truck but who delivered that there must have been a first forklift truck that I sell sales But what if you don't sell sales training?
12:37You're just on your own in a room going, oh. I guess I need to read the manual myself.
12:48I'm a therapist and I'm telling you, you're a therapist. No, it's the rapist.
13:01Hey Jimmy, do you want to go flounder fishing tomorrow? Who's asking? Who am I going flounder fishing with? I don't even know what a fucking flounder is. What is a flounder? Huh? It's like a sole flat fish. Are there lots of them here? Okay. Right. Wow, hello, sailor.

13:32Is it like off the end of the boardwalk? Is it one of those? Is it a real fish or are we out in a boat? We're out in a boat? Okay. Well, looks like I'm getting raped by that guy in a boat tomorrow.

14:37Wait a second. You're not the real Santa Claus, are you? You're a chimney sweep. Okay. Fucking dick Van Dyke.
14:53It's an unacceptable job.
14:59You might as well have said you were a wizard.

I found out my girlfriend's ex-husband has been sucking dick for 11 years. You found out your girlfriend's ex-husband has been sucking dick for 11 years. Can I ask how you found out, sir?
15:56You'll never guess what happened at the truck stop. I looked down and I went, I know you. What are you up to down there? How did you find out? She found his Grindr profile. She found his Grindr profile. Sure, just when you were flicking through Grindr.
16:22sure sure I don't know how to explain Grindr to the good people down here do you remember sir there's some lovely people there's nice people down here so do you remember when you would take a lady to a tea dance you know years ago when you were courting you would take her to a tea dance and you would maybe twirl around and you would maybe get the lady's number and then you would ask her father's permission It's like that, but with gay fucking.
16:53I don't know what to tell you. What, sorry? Oh, I said he was wearing women's clothes. He was wearing women's clothes. Well, so are you, you hypocrite.
17:07How do you deal with your mother dying? What, sorry? How do you deal with your mother dying? How did I deal with my mother dying? Well, it was sort of all right. I mean, grief is the price we pay for love. That's it. It would be sad if it wasn't sad. Have you been bereaved recently? Have you got a thing going on? My friend was supposed to be here tonight, but his mother just died this morning and cancelled. Yeah. He would love you insulting her, you know. I don't know whether he's ready for that quite yet. I think you know you've dealt with something. I mean, partly what we're doing this evening, I tell very dark jokes.
17:43and the reason I tell dark jokes is because they pay off when something like this happens. Someone dies. Like on your worst day at least, you know. I hope he's all right. Give him my best. He'll be okay. Yeah, he'll get through it, but, you know, try and cheer him up. I mean, I like the fact you still came.
