Jimmy Carr at The Trafalger Centre.
I see the early promotion of Carr's tour of New Zealand has started with a Stuff article describing the shows "as being full of “adult jokes to an adult paying audience who’ve got a good idea what’s in store.” "
Apparently he is a very classy act. Apart from jokingly suggesting that the thousands of gypsies killed by the Nazis was a "good thing", he likes his rape alarm because it is a "good reminder". He then hilariously suggests that a better word than rape to describe a sexual attack would be to call it a "struggle cuddle". And there is more racist, sexist rubbish, lots more, in his stand up routines. All good "adult humour". Ho ho ho.
Why anyone would find his style of humour funny and pay good money to laugh at the objectionable hurtful filth he spouts beats me. He should be cancelled in my view, ideally from New Zealand in total, certainly from performing at a Nelson City Council owned venue.
