It’s probably only me that likes this kind of trivia – but have you ever noticed the tour / DVD / special names?

The language used by stand-up comedians is quite violent in that when a show goes well they say that they “kill” and when it doesn’t they “bomb” or “die” on stage. Interesting to see all of the names of Jimmy’s output listed and think about the thought process behind them.

Firstly – the solo tour names:

• Bare Faced Ambition
• Charm Offensive
• Public Display of Affection
• Off The Telly
• Gag Reflex
• Repeat Offender
• Joke Technician
• Rapier Wit
• Laughter Therapy
• Gagging Order
• Funny Business
• Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits
• Terribly Funny
• Terribly Funny 2.0
• The Charm Offensive (short tour with Jim Jefferies)
• Laughs Funny
• Killing Jokes

And, did you know that the DVD names are “designed” to make sense when you read them across the spines? Nothing left to chance with this man…

• Live
• Stand Up
• Comedian
• In Concert
• Telling Jokes
• Making People Laugh
• Being Funny
• Laughing and Joking

With a compilation of the last 4 being made available on streamers under the name: Trigger Warning

And then we have the names of the Netflix specials:

• Funny Business
• Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits
• His Dark Material
• Natural Born Killer

Wonder what he will call the one due later this year?

We also have the YouTube special releases:

• Road Kill
• The End of The World With Jimmy Carr

Finally – the books:

• The Naked Jape
• Before and Laughter
• On Jokes
