From 8 Out of 10 Cats, to world tours and comedy roasts – Jimmy Carr's brutal sense of humour (and that unique laugh) has earned him a position in the very top tier of the industry. Talking to Tom and Fran on the release of his new book Before & Laughter (an autobiography meets self-help guide to life) Jimmy reveals the plot twists from a 30 year career which started, perhaps surprisingly, as an oil trader. Behind the jokes, Jimmy shares insight into his method and what keeps his demons at bay. Plus moving words on his friend Sean Lock.
