Jimmy Carr compares fame to Alzheimer’s disease

OHMYGOSSIP — Jimmy Carr has compared fame to having Alzheimer’s disease “in a lovely, friendly village”.
The 49-year-old comedian has hit out at people complaining about life in the public eye, and described being a celebrity as “the natural state”.
Asked about fame during an appearance on the ‘Out to Lunch with Jay Rayner’ podcast, he said: “Yeah. Love it.
“I can’t understand people that moan about it. ‘Cause also you don’t have to be. It’s a lovely thing, it makes the world a very friendly place.
“I’ve got a theory that, actually, being famous is the natural state… I suppose being famous is a bit like living in a lovely, friendly village but you’ve got Alzheimer’s because you don’t know anyone but they know you.”
Meanwhile, Jimmy insisted he isn’t worried about being cancelled for his jokes, as he explained the process his one-liners go through before making it into his set on tour.
He said: “I think that’s a hill I’d be willing to die on… You write jokes, let’s say you write 1,000 jokes for a show or 2,000 jokes for a show. You probably need 300 for a touring show, for me.
“You test them in front of an audience. The audience tell you two things. They tell you whether it’s funny or not, it’s binary, it either gets a big laugh or it doesn’t and they tell you if it’s acceptable.
“We can all say something that’s outlandish or cruel on stage and get a big ‘woo’ or a gasp or an intake of breath. But if there isn’t a laugh first, it’s not anything really.”
And the star insisted it’s “easier to be politically correct” for people who aren’t trying to to do stand-up comedy for a living.
He added: “It’s a tough thing because you go, what actually makes you laugh? It’s easier to be politically correct when you’re not trying to make 2,000 people laugh consistently for two hours…
“I’ve done a lot of jokes about paedophilia and I’m sure at every show there’s someone that was inappropriately touched as a child…
“The best reward is a life well lived. And to move on and to laugh about it.”
