Once upon a time Jimmy used to release a DVD after every tour…and the first one just had his name on and the word Live.

A 75-minute show filmed at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London (on the weekend of 18-20^th June 2004) it was released 8 Nov 2004.

Written and performed by Jimmy Carr, the material, in the first half, was from the tour Charm Offensive. The 2^nd half is Bare Faced Ambition and Jimmy says, in the Audio Commentary, that the “join” is where he tells a joke about teasing his girlfriend.

Dedicated to Nora Carr.

Special thanks are given to Karoline Copping and Iain Morris.

• Associate Producers: Frankie Boyle, Paul Garner, Gerard Harris, Jamie Minoprio, Jonathan Stern

Bonus Material (27 mins)

• Bonus audience interviews – there is a sofa on stage and this is 9 minutes of footage, from earlier shows, of 3 audience members coming up to chat
• Royal Variety Performance – 2004 show
• Backstage – 4+ minutes of Jimmy arriving, having his hair and make up done and then doing a photo shoot on stage
• Karaoke comedy – nothing exciting – encore footage with coloured words on screen so you could speak along with Jimmy
• Gallery of T-shirts

• Audio Commentary – if you turn this feature on the show plays right through, but muted, with Jimmy and Iain Morris chatting over it.

During the Backstage section he’s joking around with the hair / make up lady and teases her about how the powder she has brought for him is much darker than his skin tone.
