Episode Jimmy Carr: “Men half-arse things!” My thoughts on feminism, parenting, and success
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? It’s a question comedian Jimmy Carr reckons will help direct your life path.
In this chat with Fearne, Jimmy explains how he strives for greatness for himself, without falling into the trap of comparing himself to others. He talks about how to define success for yourself, why talent without hard work means very little, and why he doesn’t fear cancel culture.
Jimmy also explains why feminism still doesn’t really serve mothers and matriarchs, and why you’ll never hear him say he’s “babysitting” his own kids.
Plus, do all comedians have a bit of a troubled childhood...? Jimmy chats about how his anxieties fuel his jokes.
