A heckler's timing question gives Jimmy Carr fresh material

Jimmy Carr had the largest weekly view gain among the nearby stand-up channels, with Michael Blaustein also drawing a substantial audience and Josh Johnson viewing busier than usual. Carr's own week was firmly audience-participation territory: fifteen uploads, with an impatient question supplying the biggest new clip.

The heckler wants to know when it gets funny. That exchange has reached roughly 1.4 million views, and the comments focus on the uncertain boundary between joining in and genuinely objecting. Some viewers describe initially reading the interruption as playful before deciding it sounded serious; others pick apart Carr's recovery when a comeback is challenged as familiar. The mechanics of handling an interruption have become part of the entertainment.

A more domestic request supplies the next-busiest upload: an audience member wants advice about moving in with their partner. It had a substantially bigger first day than the timing-question clip, though the latter has since gathered more views and carries the most momentum right now.

Elsewhere, Carr considers an audience member's hypothetical: which crime would he commit if doing so meant it could never happen again? It's a different use of the same live-room format, inviting suggestions rather than simply answering an interruption.

The channel added about 30,000 subscribers over the week, while daily viewing is running around half again above its usual level. Among the fresh uploads, the crowd is doing plenty of the prompting.
