Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out
★★★★★

Jimmy Carr

5 star rating. I’ve listened to every episode. Mike, I’m a huge fan, have seen you perform as has my daughter (at SUNY Purchase). Speaking as a member of your fan base “We can take it.” I don’t think you needed the disclaimer at the beginning of the Jimmy Carr podcast. If people are choosing to listen to a comedy podcast they likely have a sense of humor and a basic understanding of comedy. If they don’t they should learn. If after listening to Jimmy Carr, people think he’s mean spirited, they’re not getting it. My son (14) and I saw an extremely dark joke on Rick and Morty yesterday. We both thought it was too dark, but I stopped the show to explain to him that they get to make the joke. And just because it crossed our line, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t funny to somebody. I am not slamming “cancel culture.” I just think we need to distinguish between what’s in a comedian’s heart versus mean spirited. I laughed so hard at this episode. Love the podcast, and I will absolutely continue to listen.
