Podcast appearances and mentions of Jimmy Carr

Can you put a price on freedom of speech? Comedy royalty including Dave Chapelle and Jimmy Carr, famous for defending their right to say whatever they want, have been paid big money by the Saudi government to appear at the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival. But there's a catch.... they're not allowed to say anything that could cause "embarrassment" to Saudi Arabia, its royal family or any religion. The outcry has given you a new phrase to learn - "comedy washing". What is comedy washing and what evidence is there Saudi Arabia is trying to carry it out? Why have comedians agreed to perform at the festival and how can they defend their decision? Niall is joined by stand-up comedian and host of the Pod Save The UK podcast Nish Kumar. Producers: Tom Gillespie, Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill

Tom and Jimmy dive deep into the craft of comedy, comparing Carr's laser-focused joke construction to Bert Kreischer's chaotic storytelling. Jimmy reveals his controversial (and hilarious) take on marijuana legalization—mandating it for people over 50—and the tragic role of "cheap dopamine" in modern life, from social media to porn. The conversation touches on global comedy culture, the variable reward system that drives stand-up and casinos , and why the live comedy experience is 30 times funnier than watching a special alone. Jimmy Carr also gives his final, wishful prediction for how Bert Kreischer will die. Plus: Why the 21st Century is just the 20th century on better screens, the long wait for GTA 6, Jimmy's hilarious interactions with Stephen Hawking, the importance of gratitude, and why Tom should have read the Quentin Tarantino book.

I 1994 bhí a lán daoine in Óstán Pathe I Ros Cré de bharr go raibh cruinniú poiblí ann leis an Chumann Lucht Trádála. Bhí siad ann chun labhairt faoi ionad fóillíochta nua don bhaile leis an chostas de 3 milliúin punt. I 1998 bhí ceiliúradh ag dul ar aghaidh I dTír dhá Ghlas tar éis a fuair siad dhá ghradam don National Tidy Towns. Bhí siad ar barr sa réigiúin turasóireacht na Sionainn agus an gradam don chontae. Bhí Tír dhá Ghlas trí phointe as an ghradam náisiúnta a chuaigh chuig Ardagh. Sin Whigfield le Saturday Night – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1994. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 fuair George Michael a dara huimhir a haon don albam Listen Without Prejudice. Dhíol sé níos mó ná ocht milliúin cóip timpeall an domhain.

Terryglass emerged as the victor in the Shannon tourism region and also secured the Tipperary County award. A bonus came in the form of the runner-up award in the population category of up to 200, where Terryglass lost out by a mere three points to the overall national award winners, Ardagh.  That was Wigfield with Saturday Night – the biggest song on this day in 1994 Onto music news on this day In 1990 George Michael scored his second UK No.1 solo album with his second release 'Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1'.

In 2021, Netflix released His Dark Material, a Christmas stand-up special by Irish–British comedian Jimmy Carr. The show sparked international outrage. Toward the end of the set, Carr delivered what he called a ‘career ender' – a joke about the Holocaust, in which he described the Nazis' murder of thousands of ‘Gypsies' as a ‘positive'. The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the Auschwitz Memorial, and the UK government condemned the joke as ‘appalling', ‘abhorrent', and ‘racist'; Carr, critics said, was trading on the ‘last acceptable form of racism'. Comedy touches every part of our lives. We tell jokes at the pub, around the dinner table, and by the office coffee machine. We all know someone who makes us laugh – and someone who seems to take things too far. But is there a line when it comes to humour? And if there is, who gets to draw it? Should we suspend our moral judgements when the lights go down and the curtain goes up? Or do jokes, like most speech acts, carry moral weight? To answer these questions, we need to understand the nature of comedy itself – what exactly it is we're responding to when we laugh. Humour might be a release of nervous tension, a playful disruption of expectations, or – more troublingly, if it applies to Carr's joke – a means of asserting social superiority. No doubt, comedy has the power to shape our culture and perceptions. But, as we'll find out, it also tells us something about who we are, who we ought to be, and the things we value most.

The Riyadh Comedy Festival - Why are comedians heading to a country where free speech laws are so strict? Who is Travis Kelce aka Mr Taylor Swift? Is he just her plus one? How has Michael Jackson's estate gone from hundreds of millions of pounds in debt upon his death to now being worth billions? Why are some of the world's biggest comedians including Dave Chappelle, Whitney Cummings and Jimmy Carr, heading to Saudi Arabia, a country with some of the strictest free speech laws on the planet? Is comedy really universal, or is this just laughing all the way to the bank? Taylor Swift's fiancé is also a three-time Super Bowl champ. But is Travis Kelce just Mr Taylor Swift, or was he always destined to be a star off the field? Michael Jackson's estate was drowning in debt when he died in 2009. Fast forward to today and it's worth billions. So what happened? From lawsuits to musicals to a long-delayed biopic, the King of Pop's legacy is proving to be very, very lucrative. But who's really cashing in?

Jimmy Carr is well known for a couple of things, his controversial comedy and distinctive laugh chief among them. And he's bringing both to Kiwi audiences early next year, travelling right across the country, stopping in 13 different cities. He's got a prolific career in standup, as well as being a household name in UK television, not only hosting an array of panel shows, but a regular guest on many of the rest. Carr has a busy schedule, and he told Mike Hosking that he works as much as he possibly can, as his work is such a joyful thing. “If I have a night off, what am I doing? I'm sitting at home having my tea,” he said. “If I come out and do a show, it's such a joyful thing." “I also think I do have a propensity to get cancelled once in a while,” Carr confessed, the comedian having seen his fair share of controversies. “So you never know when your last one's going to be.” When it comes to cancel culture, Carr is a big advocate for freedom of speech. “I'm not for everyone, and edgy jokes, there's you know, limits of it, sometimes it's not for everyone,” he told Hosking. “But the whole cancel culture thing, you go, well, as long as you don't get cancelled by your own audience, I think you're golden.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Given that fishing and farming are devolved matters why wasn't the Scottish government either involved or at the very least consulted on the agreements reached in these areas? Despite the trumpeting of the deal will it always be a sticking plaster over the economic wounds of Brexit?Saturday saw the latest edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Lesley has always been a massive fan of the event, Pat not so much,  what are her reactions to the inclusion of Israel, the behaviour of the EBU and host broadcaster in apparently censoring the live audience during the Israeli performance, and the claims of massive state intervention in order for Israel to stage a propaganda coup?The British Museum hosted a secret celebration of Israel "Independence" Day. Much of the focus has been on the appearance at it by comedian Jimmy Carr but should more have been made of the speech given by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle , on the day that the Labour government was in court defending itself against claims that it had continued to supply Israel with F35 aircraft parts in breach of its own sanctions?ScotLand( sic) Futures led by the Scottish Land Commission has called for individuals, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations to "help shape a shared vision for how Scotland's land is owned, used and managed". Lesley asks if we need less "consultation" and more genuine action?As we recorded last week's episode the result of the vote at Stage One of The Assisted Dying Bill vote at Holyrood was unknown. The vote was in favour.
