Jimmy Carr Crowd Work: Hospice Nurse Gets ROASTED

Quick Overview

Jimmy Carr roasts audience members during crowd work, notably mocking a hospice nurse who admitted to leaving work early to attend the show and pointing out that her total number of dogs killed was zero, contrasting it with the perceived danger of a man who worked on military aircraft, concluding with applause for the audience.

Key Points: The comedian interacts with the audience, first asking about a man who works on Iron Man races, who admits to swimming, cycling, and running, but never actually fighting. The comedian then singles out a woman who works at the hospice, humorously questioning why the word 'concubine' is no longer used, before asking if she is a doctor or nurse. The hospice nurse admits she is a nurse, and the comedian jokes that she is 'one up' on a 'doctor' because she is 'not in the slightest' bothered by the idea of her daughter dating someone from a different political affiliation, unlike the perceived 'humiliations of man' associated with Copernicus. The comedian references a text message on screen from a parent excited to be there, whose daughter Brooke is applying to veterinary schools and asking for advice on meeting a 'nice bloke' or warnings. The comedian points out the irony that the audience member who works on military aircraft (who admitted to killing zero dogs) is seen as less dangerous than the vet-aspirant's father, who the comedian jokingly suggests has killed many horses. The segment concludes with the comedian thanking the audience and noting the applause is louder because people have 'more fingers than usual' (implying they are clapping enthusiastically).
