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.

Not a Roma or from any, not even remotely, Gypsy related background here.
AND ITβS STILL FKCING FUNNY !!!
ADDITION:
Wellllβ¦. To be 100% transparentβ¦ I AM a member of the LGBTQ+ community though..
And the βnot-see-peopleβ (thanks, YT-algorithm-preventing-using-obvious-words).. they ALSO eliminated MANY THOUSANDS of gay/lesbian people during that warβ¦.
βYou donβt hear a lot of people talking about thatβ¦β (ref Jimmyβs Joke)..

No one takes risks like Jimmy when it comes to offensive jokes. And tax evasion.

This guy is so smart. He starts off by saying this is a career ended, therefor he can say whatever the fuck he wants, and the people expect it to be horrible, therefore it isnβt a career ender. Heβs done this several times and so far his career hasnβt ended. Bravo (also I think he needs a shower)
@b3at1
I'm sure he has mentioned the showers in other jokes given this one
@Jmcinally94
It's not really that clever. It's not particularly original for comedians to point out "look how offensive I'm going to be", it's just lampshading ahead of time.
The joke also only works because hatred towards gypsies is one of the last acceptable open bigotries throughout Europe, so it was a pretty safe joke. That's why he didn't make the target disabled people or Jews, but everyone finds Jehovah's Witnesses annoying.
