Before & Laughter

Which is a joke he repeats a lot on this book, and to my own detriment, I have to admit, it was well done every time. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Alas, my family took my dramatic readings as a cry for help, leading to an impromptu intervention where I became the unintentional star of my own tragicomedy. I appreciate what Jimmy Carr was trying to do with this book but personally would have preferred the more traditional biography full of anecdotes and stories rather than how to improve your life.

Now Rickles knows everyone in the room is staring at Marilyn, so he waits a beat and says, ‘I thought I told you to wait in the truck. I can’t recommend the audiobook enough, as I was laughing so often I lost track of time and “like a teenager with a laptop, I was surprised at how far I’d come”. I loathe self-help books, I judge people who read them to find solutions to their problems and I find them boring and utterly stupid, not that I have read many, or any.

He is a regular on all the top panel shows, including QI and A League Of Their Own, has performed as part of The Royal Variety Performance three times, and a judge on BBC1's I Can See Your Voice. It's also very funny - I listened to the audiobook read by Jimmy and I suspect this made it even funnier. grāmatā bija daudz melnā humora, bet kopumā diezgan labs ieskats ne tikai autora paša dzīvē, bet tā, lai arī lasītājs/klausītājs top viedāks. When you're in your 20s all you ever do is think about what other people think about you, but when you're in your 40s you don't really care what they think about you and when you're in your 60s they don't you realise all along they weren't even thinking about you at all apparently attributed to Winston Churchill. Once again, I am quite a biased reviewer when it comes to authors I have a soft spot for; this notion is no less present when it comes to Jimmy Carr’s semi autobiographical self help book.

If they’re not willing to be flexible about food (I’m talking to you, Mr Panda), if they’re not willing to fuck (you again, Panda Boy), fuck ’em. There are so many millionaires with all the money in the world, and yet all they’re looking for is the urge to find some more. At just 20, it's cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church.

The funniest and most enjoyable "self-help" book ever - barely feels like one while you read, because quite often it has as many jokes per minute as a stand-up show, and despite talking about his own story, the narrative voice is so energising and encouraging. After becoming established as a stand-up comedian, Carr began to appear in a number of Channel 4 television shows, most notably as the host of the panel show 8 out of 10 Cats. One of the biggest-selling comedy acts in the world, Jimmy consistently does stand-up to sell-out crowds, performing his shows at venues in over forty countries.

The best part of the book is when Jimmy Carr gives personal anecdotes like in a traditional autobiography. I really loved the fact that this book wasn’t a standard autobiography; the mix between biography and self-help book was both strange and awesome, and to be honest, I wouldn’t expect anything other than strange and awesome from Jimmy Carr.
