Jimmy Carr Confirmed To Write Comic For CLiNT Magazine In Two Months
Bleeding Cool ran the word back in July, but it's now been confirmed and scheduled. Jimmy Carr, one of the most popular and ubiquitous stand up comedians in Britain, will be writing a serialised comic book for Mark Millar's CLiNT magazine, starting in the issue out towards the end of January.
Jimmy Carr, probably best known to an American audience for hosting the TV series Distraction on Comedy Central. In the UK, his panel show Eight Out Of Ten Cats has proved popular, but its stand up act consisting of a run of quick witted gags, with a penchant for gags about bigotry that border just on the side of irony, for which he is best known in the UK. Here are a few favourites.
I saw a charity appeal in the Guardian the other day, and it read "Little Zuki has to walk 13 miles a day just to fetch water". And I couldn't help thinking, she should move.
African child dies? I watched those, and couldn't help thinking, "well stop clicking your fingers!"
British scientists have demonstrated that cigarettes can harm your children. Fair enough. Use an ashtray!
There was one time where I failed to perform sexually. My girlfriend said to me "oh don't worry, it happens to a lot of guys". Ok, there are two things wrong with that. First of all who are these other guys?, and second of all if it's happening to more than one of us, don't you think it could be YOUR fault?
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Rohypnol.
My girlfriend bought a cook book the other day called 'Cheap and easy vegetarian cooking'. Which is perfect for her, because not only is she vegetarian…
Throwing acid is wrong, in some people's eyes.
A big girl once came up to me after a show and said "I think you're fatist." I said "No, no. I think you're fattest."
I live near a remedial school. There is a sign that says, slow… children. That can't be good for their self esteem. But look of course on the positive side, they can't read it.
I have no problems with buying tampons. I am a fairly modern man. But apparently they're not a "proper" present.
I say no to gay marriage. It'll end up leading to gay divorce, and that'll be bitchy.
Is it just me, or is he perfect for CLiNT?
