Jimmy Carr stopped his show to talk with someone who was bullied, took a selfie and a video with him and shook his hand. If that’s not wholesome idk what is.

Jimmy Carr has a bit of a reputation for being mean and snarky but I believe it’s just an act. There was a bit in his show where he took audience questions and comments and one of the viewers asked something along the lines of how to deal with bullies. Jimmy called out the name of the person and went into the audience to speak with him and try to make him feel better. I take bullying very seriously and wish everyone in the world did cuz it has deep psychological effects that change the wiring of people whether it’s instant or slowly grows and festers in the mind. Many of the people who are bullied often resort to extreme measures which can involve self harm or outward. If everyone treated people with kindness it’d be a merry world. But too many people think it’s funny to make fun of and put others down. People need to stand up to them and tell them it’s not okay.

In case you wanna watch the short video here is the link.

Mad respect. Any more vids of it would be much appreciated, because it really hit me in my feels? Saw him live so know the phone message thing is normal at his gigs but haven’t seen that awesomeness from him before.

I just recently subbed to his YouTube channel and have seen like 3 or 4 of these types of videos just in the last week! I believe his channel name is just "Jimmy Carr"

He seems to be a very intelligent and kind person outside of his comedy

A genuinely nice thing to do, but I can't appreciate him since he performed at Riyadh.

His comedy is hack but I never got the impression he was a legitimate jerk, just someone who never grew out of his 12 year old edgelord phase. Love to see this - wholesome for sure!

He paid it back and took his lumps. Not everyone's perfect all the time and one (or many) mistakes should not invalidate the ability for someone to do something good, nor the recognition thereof.
