Funnily enough (see what we did there?!), Jimmy Carr didn't have much of an interest in comedy to begin with. Graduating from Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge with a 2:1 degree in Political Sciences, he worked as a marketing executive for Shell in the late 1990's.
Whilst working at JC Productions with his father, Carr made his first television pilot / short film at Pinewood starring Craig Charles, Roy Dotrice and himself. The mockumentary, The Colour of Funny was essentially a vanity project for him.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Now he's a writer, performer and presenter, all in various forms of media.
Enjoy some of Carr at his best, with this clip of Jimmy Carr: Live at the Apollo!
