Jimmy Carr was born in Slough, Berkshire to Irish parents and was educated … Read Full Bio ↴Jimmy Carr was born in Slough, Berkshire to Irish parents and was educated at Burnham Grammar and later at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe where he achieved 4 A grades at A-level, before going on to receive a 2:1 degree in Social and Political Sciences from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. After leaving Cambridge, Carr was hired by the oil company Shell as a marketing executive, a job which he described as "the easiest job in the world". Less than two years afterwards, he took redundancy and joined JC Productions Ltd in order to begin a career in stand-up comedy. Whilst working at JC Productions with his father, Carr made his first film at Pinewood starring Craig Charles and Roy Dotrice. The film, The Colour of Funny, was a flop and this failure motivated him to try his hand at comic writing and stand-up. Carr eventually gained recognition at the Royal Variety Performance, and was chosen by Channel 4 to host game shows such as Distraction and Your Face or Mine? In 2004 he released his first stand up DVD entitled simply Jimmy Carr Live, and the following year (2005) his second was released, Jimmy Carr Stand Up. He currently presents 8 Out of 10 Cats on Channel 4.

In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy.

Freedom from shame?...

"Tolerance is the virtue of people who do not believe in anything."

Gilbert K. Chesterton

"Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. But what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. The important point here is this: Tolerance applies only to persons but never to truth. Intolerance applies only to truth but never to persons. Tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error."

Fulton J. Sheen

Yes. I also think he misses out by not giving any serious considerations to the benefit of relative obscurity. The virtues of just living a relatively simple life and doing a job well that doesn't involve exploitation. He talks about the downsides of fame but then normalises it.
The flip side then: Realistically not everyone can be a marketing guru, actor or a standup comic or a start up guru. Someone must drive the ambulance and sweep up the roads and deliver food.
There's a bit too much mystification and glorification of the self and the ultimate job search for me.
But in fact there's reward and enormous satisfaction in thinking less about yourself and more about community and meaning. He talks about 'flow' and that's an aspect of it.
Although he's learned some lessons about materialism and traps he defaults into cliche too readily. Wanting to be a GOAT? Yes I know what it stands for but seriously? Less ego more humility would be handy.
There's not enough about the problems of smugness and self help cliche. So he's just stopping at the midlife crisis. Knowing you're enough right now? Seriously? Can we get away from the smug egos? This is so upper middle class.
What do you say to people who are struggling with putting food on the table and a roof over their heads. Read a self help book? It's bordering on the 1%. Or maybe I'm finally getting radicalised. He glosses over the offshore tax havens. It should have been a wakeup call and clearly he wasn't answering the phone.
Hard work is not enough you have to work smart? This guy has had no serious failure to deal with and come from a privileged position. That cliche really annoys me because of its irrelevance to most people's lives. They're constantly told to work smart and that's what's driving people mad. We have the widest gap between rich and poor and it's widening. That context just doesn't occur to him. People are working multiple jobs smart jobs, in a smart way and they barely make enough to survive.
He has zero idea about mysticism, but worse, no curiosity. Just saying there is no God is a bit arrogant. What if God is a human construct but it exists outside of our construct?
Comparison is the thief of joy is however quite a solid observation. Sorry it's not enough though. I can't listen to this guy any longer. Ending my listening at 1.05 because he lectures.

Your podcast regarding your diary was amazing. It's taken me 35 years to realise what's important for this very short life we have. I say 35 years as from the age of 15 after leaving school I have been on a journey on not knowing who I am and what is life all about?
I have just recently thought long and hard about my life. My father passed away in September 2022 suddenly and the destruction of my life happened at the same time. My family became broken and my trust in my family broke.
This led me to want so much more out of this life. All the insecurities I had from a very young age and the lack of confidence I had all my life came to the surface. My father passed away and a new me was born.
I lost my family the day after my father's funeral because certain things came to the surface. This will probably mean I'll never see my family again ?
I feel like I now have to start a new life.
As Jimmy Carr states trying to make your family like you or respect you is a fight you can spend your life doing.
I have so many ideas for business, ideas that can even help to support and change people's lives. The problem I have which is the same as alot of people come across is money, money to start your business.
My father worked so hard at saving all his life, very careful with money not squandering on senseless material items or needs.
I will not inherite anything from my father for the simple reason of speaking up about issues that were kept in Pandoras box.
The truth the darkness behind family secrets.
To realise your mother does not live you as she does your younger siblings.
To realise she probably never even wanted you!!
There is certain things I hate in life, jealousy, greed, the need to hurt others regardless of the consequences, lack of loyalty and lies.
The most dangerous threat in life is the human being. The most destructive being on the planet.
Again listening to your podcast to realise how we all yearn to be loved , to be excepted is the most painful emotion us humans enflict on one another and to ourselves.
The most success you will ever achieve Stephen is your podcasts. The people you interview the stories you have unraveled I feel has changed so many peoples lives. You are the male version of Oprah Winfrey.
Not to patronise anyone who is young and successful, but for your age Stephen I can honestly say you are a person who will always attract interesting and influential people into your world. That is the wealth you have gained Stephen and this I am sure will continue throughout your journey. Much thanks and love. Karen

Hey man you should get hold of ROYSTON VASEY Alias Roy CHUBBY Brown, another great comedian, who had a similar difficult life as a child and young man, a great laugh, but as vulgar and offensive as he can be behind closed doors, his heart and outlook on life and putting his audience before him shows how greatly he values his life and that of others!

glen Griffiths

Excellent insight into childhood trauma

Anna Kissed

I suspect I would have a good conversation with both you & Jimmy Carr about philosphy & semantics & goals in life. But theirs a difference between you & Jimmy on the one hand and me on the other and if can be summed up by Rutger Hauer in BladeRunner https:// youtu. be/TNprUC1ncko

I don't know where you'll be standing but based on what he has said & the useful idiots like Gordon Peterson he seems to hold in high essteem I'm sure Jimmy will be knocking them dead in the new Aushvitz or Treblinka. The new camps I am fighting to stop me & mine ending up in or to turn to Rutger Hauer in BladeRunner again:

Thank you for confirming this side of Jimmy which I had a glimpse of years ago. I met Jimmy after receiving a Pride of Britain award, he came on stage after the cameras were rolling. He went to congratulate and speak to every winner. He was genuinely interested, asked questions and was super nice to every single person. He also remembered what everyone achieved and approached every person with kindness and being impressed by the achievements. He of course made us laugh but that was a by side of the whole experience. My respect for him went up after that experience.

Adam K

One of the main problems with society & Technology today is that we take “text msgs” out of context. ie: asking how someone feels and the reply being “fine thank’s yourself” now there’s no emotion in that at all unless you use an emoticon. So people actually take offense unless you write a fuckng book back to reply. But going back to what i originally said if you asked that question in person it would be a totally different outcome.

I’ve only just discovered Steven’s videos. They are wonderful. I’m a clinical psychologist and I admire the way Steven attempts to really understand his guests, and the antecedents to their personality. This was a fascinating interview, although in this case he didn’t seem to need to do much prompting as Jimmy Carr obliged with real openness about his life. I was curious why Jimmy seemingly chose to open up so much in this particular interview, which felt slightly more like a lecture at times. He appeared quite keen to drive the direction of the discussion, imparting his life wisdom, which at times was really interesting. I was curious why he needed to take control so much though.

This is stupidly insightful and real. I have been a fan of Jimmy Carrs for a long time, even before moving to the U.K. I always felt there was more behind his stage persona.

Wasn't surprising for me, all the comics speak highly of Jimmy as a person. Russell Howard is very close to Jimmy and he's always said how kind Jimmy is in real life and what a genuinely nice guy he is. I feel I would connect deeply with Jimmy also, he doesn't like small talk but he will talk for hours on important serious subjects that capture his interest or 4hat challenge him intellectually, Jimmy is insanely intelligent and I think this interview really showcases that

Quotes and notes from the podcast:
The meaning of life - "Enjoy the passage of time"
"You are the story you tell yourself"
"Comparison is the thief of joy"
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now."
"You are not a noun, you are a verb"

This is the one podcast I wish I had the chance to see in person. But maybe some other time! (PS I am in London, so if it is possible, I would love to see the podcast in person)

Laura Jacobsen

Not sure why, but the very last question brought a tear to my eye. Having watched the whole thing, it felt like the perfect question, delivered with the perfect gravitas. Happy to report its yes for me too.

Ian Burrill

Great interview. I think the meaning of life and what both were getting at is contentment. Wether you’re rich or poor finding contentment is the key to happiness. Jimmy put a finger on it when he said anything you buy you won’t care about in 5 years. Things don’t make you happy. Imagine you’re dying today. You’re on your death bed. Will you think. I’m glad I bought that Farrari or that house. No, you’ll think I won’t see the sun rise, or hear the rain. Sit with family. Watch children grow, miss love. Things are irrelevant. Work is unimportant. Contentment and love is all we all really need.

I remember seeing the little girl sat in a bucket of water with the biggest smile on her face. If she was in a giant pool in a mansion she wouldn’t have been any happier.

Ambition only takes you so far in life.

Jimmy you are an absolutely genuine lovely man. I appreciate everything that you shared. I am so happy to hear you are in between your jokes. I am over 70 and you answered a couple of questions I have had for a long time Jimmy. You kept me laughing every time I have seen one of your shows.

Im currently going through a process where my brain has been completely stripped of neurotransmitters. Total lack of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins; with simultaneous increase in cortisol and other stress hormones. Early on I didn't even have the desire to do my favorite things. Literally the only joy I had in the first weeks was putting Mr. Carr on my earbuds and could actually laugh out loud. Legitimately wouldn't have made it through without him. I hope he knows he's a LITERAL life saver. He's a little wrong about being a dealer. He's not a drug dealer, he's a safe drug that I'll never build a tolerance to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Carr.

Wow, absolutely hooked from start to finish. It's actually incredible how relevent this discussion is to my life at the moment and how much I really needed to hear what was talked about. Massive thanks to both of you!

What makes this SO remarkable is I don't think there's a person alive for whom it's NOT contemporary, not immediately relevant. This really is one of the honest treasures this platform - YouTube, that is - has contributed to the world.

This was such an excellent listen. It got me thinking a lot about how much more access people have to advice these days. Young people at the moment who are just leaving school/college or in their first jobs have so much access to this type of valuable content by way of the Internet. I'm not particularly old (mid 30s) but even 20 years ago this sort of thing just wasn't available. We just had to go and make mistakes - i'm glad I recovered from mine. Like Jimmy, I blindly went through school, university and work until I pursued other things. But a lot of people stay stuck.

There was advice from teachers/relatives and books but this is so much more relevant and I'm really glad to see positives from social media/the internet such as this. Maybe younger people can be more informed in their choices than my generation were.

I think what Jimmy was saying about how much would you take to give up on your dreams (e.g. the 35K job) is something people should really consider. It gets harder to just walk away from those stable income streams the older you get - so choose wisely.

You have a new subscriber :)

This interview has presented such a deeper funny side of Jimmy Carr
I love the evolution of his work
Great interview

Angela Dennison

That change that you want in being a better comedian is already there I’m watching it this interview was the one interview that I needed thank you so much Jimmy for giving me that push that I would not give myself yes you’re right we are the ones that stop ourselves from doing anything amazing interview this was the man that needed to talk to me thank you

Hey these are great - I thought this podcast was going to be another hustler type one where its pure motivation etc . But the thing I have noticed is the intimacy you create and allow for truth to come out. Beautiful!

Danielle Houlachan

Found your channel after seeing Davina advertise your podcast with her. I haven't stopped watching and im so inspired. It has come at the exact right time for me. I know my passion, I know what my "thing" is and i have been working at it for the last 2 years. Small wins so far but im sending those emails now and taking action. Definitely going to get Jimmy's book.

JIMMY CARR is a great inspirational speaker, another string to his bow. Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast.

This was really good. The first time I've watched this channel, just stumbled on it. Faith or no faith, a lot of people will feel a lot of honesty and positivity from this. Respect for this interview guys. I look forward to the new material Jimmy. 👍

Fascinating interview this one. I especially liked the fact that Steven understood that Jimmy is smarter than him on this subject (and me, and most of us) and didn't fight to be the smartest person in the room. Being comfortable with not being the smartest person in the room is good leadership. I'd be screwed if I was the smartest person in my team.

Jack Whitbread

I mean Jimmy is a Cambridge educated alumni, he is smarter than the majority of people. I often find with comedians that the ones I enjoy the most are insanely well educated, well informed and generally wonderful human beings. Tim Minchin is also another prime example, privately educated , one of the best musical satirists there has ever been, phenomenal composer (2 Broadway and West End musicals), writer and actor of his own hit TV show Upright, a master on the piano and a pleasant vocalist too. He was especially great as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.

It’s weird how sometimes a podcast or video comes to me that is so relevant to what’s going on with me and my life right now. I’m coming out of a period of illness where I was housebound and bedbound for a long time. (Years.) Im recovering, but now need to find my purpose and what I enjoy, as well as get fresh perspectives on just about all elements of life and living. And I didn’t expect to get it from my favourite comedian, I never knew he was so insightful, intelligent and deep!

What a great episode this was. I have to say I was never a fan of Jimmy's comedy. Ever since I saw him at Uni in 2000. But....what's beautiful about this circle is that I was at one if his failure shows....that he so profoundly described as important towards success. This episode has completely changed my perception of this man. I've listened to it twice already and will vow to listen to it more. He may be paraphrasing, he may be stating quotes, but that's exactly what we (I) need. It's a brilliant collection of ideas and I LOVE this. Thank you so much you two. You've helped me more than you know.

Unbelievably eye opening..first podcast I’ve cried listening to. Just hit home on so many points! A very wise man he is. Similar to others I only knew his public persona, but I have even more respect for him now! He’s always been my fave comedian and a lot of the situations he describes I’m going through or have been through (in my own version) surprisingly profound and philosophical, love it!! 🙌🏽💪🏽

It was really interesting to hear Jimmy talking about tribes. I’ve been retired for two years and initially felt very lost. Now I belong to several voluntary groups, craft groups etc and feel much better. However, I notice that we are almost exclusively women, particularly ex teachers and ex nhs or ex social workers. Such a shame that men don’t seem to want to take the plunge and join something.

Paraphrasing:
“Being famous/known by everyone is the norm because in history everyone knew us in our small communities”
Jimmy just blew my mind.

A Chad catboy

That is pretty revealing.

soofri

Comedians are so empathic. They permit us to feel ok with our worst feelings by lettingnus know were not alone. They dont judge nor justify. They simply understand. I love them. A gift as much as any socrates jordan peterson etc

Your guests are so interesting and thought provoking. Jimmy Carr is a great example. Viewing from my age/generation I am discovering that each and every human being is doing their best to find the answer to life and how to exist on earth. As I view/listen to all of your beautiful interviews I am learning and I thank you. I need to live another life, how about you? Jimmy Carr don't go away come and share lots more, happy new year dear man.

It takes 2 to have a great conversation like this. And this was really a fun, real, reflective, challenging chitty chat. Awesome.

He is so interesting! So smart, so clued up with life, so good at understanding himself and everyone else too! I’ve stayed up for 4 hours watching him, never gave him the time of the day until Shaun lock died I realised how funny Shaun was I ventured into the others on the program and realised I should be watching the others as they are just as clever.

He’s one of my favourites now.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that a comic who was a bit too edgy for me would become my life coach and oracle of wisdom on a podcast. That's why you should never make assumptions about anyone without listening to them. You will learn so much if you challenge yourself and your beliefs. I also saw him at carfest last summer. Now i find him hilarious. Thank you

There was a moment in this that spoke to me like nothing else has. In short, how do you balance having enough and being content, but also being ambitious and goal orientated?

I've tussled with this for years now. I had a family situation that I used to be able to use to drive me. They didn't believe in me and it was an 'I'll show you' reaction.
Then I achieved what I set out to do. I have more than enough to be happy. Those family members have passed on and I've made peace. Every single aspect of my life ticks every possible box and I'm happy with it. But then what do you do with your day if you're happy? I can't wake up and go, 'today I'm going to just be happy'.

Sometimes I wish for the time where I wasn't enough and I hadn't reached my goals. Creating more goals doesn't work as there's just not that drive behind them that I used to have.

The best thing was hearing someone else ask that question, that I'm not the only one who has searched for that answer. Thanks Steven.

I'm loving your series and the many wise and inspirational comments being shared. Just wanted to add something about gratitude, which Jimmy raised in this interview. I have practised Nichiren Buddhism for many years and once heard an elderly Japanese man called Mr Izumi talk about gratitude. He described how the word 'but' can be a pollutant in our life. To explain this he used the example of someone offering you a cup of tea. If we say, "Thanks for the cup of tea but where are the biscuits." all we are expressing is complaint. If, on the other hand we say, "Thanks for the cup of tea it's lovely. Do you by any chance have some biscuits?" we are expressing gratitude purely but also expressing our desire for something else. Thank you.

This popped up on Youtube randomly (I'd watched a Big Quiz episode). Very interesting and enlightening. I have a much deeper appreciation for Jimmy Carr now, beyond his great wit and one liners. Thank you for interviewing him.
