jimmy carr tonight!
Report back! We never got a report on Basinski….missing it broke my heart
i'm not sure that request was for me, but here goes anyways: t'was absolutely brilliant. best live comedy i've ever seen. good comedy is more than just jokes, it should make you think, feel, question, cringe... jimmy did all of that. he is amazing at improv (protip: don't heckle him unless you're prepared to be destroyed... he murdered three loudmouths last night). i was a tad worried that after 25 years of touring he'd be jaded, phoning it in, doing the same old routines, etc - newp, last night was as fresh and heart-felt as any of his past stuff i've seen (recorded). jimmy carr is now on my must-see list, i'll be catching him whenever he's in town. protip2: if you do have an opportunity to catch his show, don't bring someone who is unfamiliar with his stuff and/or isn't a fan of blue and black humor. the couple sitting to my left were on a date and the lady was not enjoying herself... she stuck it out but she clearly doesn't believe that sacred cows make the tastiest hamburgers. pretty sure the date was over after that
he doesn't have any currently listed dates in the DC area. he'll be in atlantic city in april, as well as the carolinas and pittsburgh around then, but nothing closer. but he's constantly touring so it's just a matter of time. highly recommended.
