A man who needs no introduction: comedian, writer and TV host Jimmy Carr. In this conversation we find out what makes Jimmy tick and hear about his origin story: he tells Gyles about his childhood in Slough, and his close relationship with his charismatic mother. We hear about his dyslexia, and how teachers at school encouraged him to apply to Cambridge. We hear about what, if anything, is off-limits in comedy, and the importance of being present for your children. Gyles and Jimmy also discuss the distinction between charm and charisma. Plus we hear about Jimmy's new movie, Fackham Hall, out in the UK on December 12 2025 (today!) This is a revealing, wise and yes, charming, conversation with one of the most well-known comedians in the UK. In January 2026 Rosebud will be launching their subscribers' club: The Rosebud Family. We'll be giving you more info about this throughout December, so keep listening! Cue the music! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
