Comedian Jimmy Carr takes act into Second Life

Flying penises FTW??

Wasn't he the host of some gameshow here in the US? On Comedy Central, if I remember correct. Distraction?
Gotta look that up.

Missing the point of Second Life?

"But only 50 fans can see the stand-up in person, with a similar number watching the online show, Carr's spokesman said."

I thought the whole point of having an online world that's trying to be the Metaverse is that you didn't have to limit the amount of people attending something due to size constraints or cost.

Why wouldn't they let more people see it online? Having only 50 (or so) people in an online world that could support many more times that seems a bit constricting. In real life you limit the amount of people because of lack of physical seats and room. That wouldn't apply here, besides for things like server power and connection speed, but I think we can handle more here.

You're being pretty generous referring to him as a 'comedian'.....

Jimmy who??

Irish? He was born in Slough:

Jimmy Carr's hillarious, if you don't apprectiate it, or you're american then don't comment. There's more than enough people who LOVE his skills.

He's funny as hell.

He's one of the most english people ever. Still though, usually Irish people are reported as English so this is a nice change...

For those who aren't aware Slough is no where near Ireland. Which is a separate country!

He's Irish?!?

Goddamnit.... he's horrendous,

...now Tommy Tiernan on the other hand, is the god of Irish comedy.

Btw: On the subject of Jimmy Carr, people only (well, to a large extent) find him funny because they think his "character" is a "clever" comic persona, but sadly , that's what he is really like. If anyone else saw him crash and burn on Jonathon Ross, they'd understand.

Ps: On second thoughts, there's no way he's Irish.
*flicks to wiki*... phew.

He got a lucky lap on top gear, but that so last year ...

I think he's being mistaken for being Irish because he's got Irish parents grandparents or something not sure, but in any case just because he would be able to apply for an Irish passport doesn't mean he would refer to himself as Irish. I quite like his humour, though I'd like to see that Jonathon Ross footage mac aoidh any links?

Funny guy.

Couldn't give a crap about the second life thing though.

See him live, or watch his live dvd. Don't sign up to a crappy online chat room just so you can watch a jerky streaming of a live show.

Also, special shout out to Stoo, ladies and gentlemen, ....there's always one c***.

He was born in Limerick in Ireland. Don't believe me? Check wikipedia. He is Irish

Figure there's any chance he'll stay in Second Life? Fingers crossed.

I saw his Comedy Central special a while back. It was pretty funny.

I don't know if it can possibly translate to a virtual medium, though. It's too reliant on delivery. I guess some jokes could work, but the majority of them won't.

Still, a neat idea.

Jimmy carr isnt funny, he does nothing but one liner jokes OVER AND OVER..............can any of his comedy routines be done in more than 5 sentences? no.
