Everyone is just fascinated to see how much further he's going to push things! That's how he gets away with it, they just have to know what happens next. He's very quick and deals with any wayward people in the audience extremely well.

I can't think of any other comedian who would dare to have this level of audience participation. Going to one of his shows must be completely awesome.


Actually, when you see what he does, it seems easier than normal comedy. Half the jokes were just what the audience said. I'm not criticizing, he definitely has a rapport with the audience to encourage them to say inane things, but I don't think it is especially hard perse. Again, love the guy, he IS very funny.

Hrm.. It's probably hard to appreciate just how difficult that is without doing it. I think it'd require a quick wit and a razor sharp sense of humor to take the jumbled thoughts that the audience throws at you, pick out what is genuinely funny, and expand upon that. Much harder and stressful than regurgitating a well rehearsed performance.

Anyways, the fact that Jimmy Carr makes it seem so natural and easy is amazing.
