Jimmy Carr has too many credits to name. He is a stand-up comedian. His most recent special, Funny Business, can be seen on Netflix. He is a well-known host, perhaps best known for The UK show The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Pete met Jimmy when Jimmy was the presenter on a BBC special on the Science of Laughter. Jimmy’s book, Only Joking: What’s So Funny About Making People Laugh, was the first and most helpful one Pete read when he started studying humor. Jimmy joins Pete in Melbourne prior to Jimmy’s show The Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits World Tour. Jimmy shares that being able to write jokes isn’t the skill, being able to laugh at jokes is the skill. He says laughter is the interesting part, not the material, because it defines humanity.
