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.

I kinda have a feeling he has come up with a ton of even more brutal jokes over the years that even he thought were a bit... too much?
And it sucks that we'd never get to hear them

He did a similar thing in another video - I recall a particular different Holocaust joke that had the audience scratching their collective head, wondering why they weren't offended by it.

You gotta find out where he works out his material, most likely in little clubs around London.

I'm still waiting for his muslim jokes and trans jokes if there are any.
Leinad Senil
The gay joke made me and my mum laugh so much she sounded like a kettle.
Rafay Ali
I didn’t get it though. Would you please explained it?
Patrick Barrett
Rafay Ali I think I get it but I don’t know cause I don’t think it’s funny but maybe I do understand and don’t find it funny.
Leif Goodwin
It just isn’t funny, and frankly it seems to be based on good old fashioned bigotry. I might have found it funny when I was 14. It wasn’t clever, or witty, or oerceptive. When will he come out with good old fashioned racist jokes? Remember those?
Patrick Barrett
WalksWithTurkeys thank you for reassuring me. I didn’t really get why the audience laughed so much.
