The segment starts with Carr addressing a text about vaginal discharge perfume, then transitions into a discussion about audience sensitivity, the rules of comedy regarding sensitive topics like the Holocaust, and personal Q&A with audience members regarding their ages and life events. ## Detailed Analysis Jimmy Carr begins by reading an audience question displayed on the screen: "Question.. what are your thoughts on women wanting to use their own vaginal discharge as pheromone perfume?" After a brief exchange, he moves to another text message from 'Emma originally from Manchester' asking if he prefers performing overseas or in the UK. Carr states he prefers overseas because those audiences are more 'self-selecting' and less likely to be overly sensitive, unlike UK audiences who he suggests are becoming too delicate, citing the current environment where people are being cautious about jokes regarding the Holocaust. He recounts a specific Holocaust joke he told, noting that the rule used to be that you had to be part of the community to joke about sensitive topics, but now even deniers are being careful. He then answers audience questions, including one about the youngest person to swim the Cook Strait (age 14, who is in the audience but not the texter), and another about a friend, Kelly, who needs an intervention for having 2 dogs and 8 cats. Carr jokingly tells Kelly to go out and approach men because drinking alcohol makes men less toxic, unlike the 'soy boys' who don't pay attention to negative messages about masculinity. After the audience laughter subsides, Carr shifts focus to the young Cook Strait swimmer, confirming the age of 14 and joking about the poor parenting resulting in the swimmer being 'drafted' by a shark. ### Audience Q&A - Inappropriate Perfume - Question displayed about using vaginal discharge as pheromone perfume - Carr notes the inherent awkwardness of the request. ### Audience Q&A - Performing Locations - Fan Emma asks if Carr prefers performing overseas or in the UK - Carr strongly favors overseas due to less audience sensitivity. ### Comedy Rules and Taboos - Carr discusses the shifting landscape of comedy regarding sensitive topics like the Holocaust - He references David Irving and the idea that comedians must be part of a community to joke about its tragedies. ### Audience Q&A - Pet Hoarding - Fan asks about Kelly who needs an intervention for 2 dogs and 8 cats - Carr advises Kelly to go out and drink, suggesting this will make men approach her. ### Audience Q&A - Cook Strait Swimmer - Carr is asked about the youngest person to swim the Cook Strait (25km) - The person is in the audience at age 14; Carr jokes about the parents' poor job protecting him from sharks. ![Screenshot at 00:00: Jimmy Carr on stage displaying a text message asking for his thoughts on women using their own vaginal discharge as pheromone perfume?](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/ViaPq_6p0y8/00-00-00.jpg) ![Screenshot at 00:09: Jimmy Carr begins discussing the question about vaginal discharge perfume, noting the inherent awkwardness.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/ViaPq_6p0y8/00-00-09.jpg) ![Screenshot at 01:20: Jimmy Carr contrasting the perceived sensitivity of UK audiences with overseas audiences.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/ViaPq_6p0y8/00-01-20.jpg) ![Screenshot at 03:54: Jimmy Carr tells a joke about the Holocaust, referencing David Irving, and notes the difficulty in making jokes about sensitive topics now.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/ViaPq_6p0y8/00-03-54.jpg) ![Screenshot at 05:05: Jimmy Carr describes the text exchange about Kelly needing an intervention for 2 dogs and 8 cats.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/ViaPq_6p0y8/00-05-05.jpg)
