Jimmy Carr
As a last minute thing I rang up yesterday to see if I could book a ticket to see Jimmy Carr at Wolverhampton. Thankfully I managed to get a good seat at the front row on the balcony. It was a great gig...a lot of rape and paedo jokes that make you go 'oooooh'...but still funny :-p I even got to meet him afterwards too to get an autograph. At the end of the gig he said 'I'll be around after to say hi, sign autographs...but no photos on your camera phone because it takes you too fucking long to work out how to use it.' I wasn't sure if he was joking or if he just meant camera phones as I had my camera with me. I asked and although he said no (and understandable with how fucking long the line was) he was very kind and apologetic about it. He said something like 'I'm sorry, I can't. If I do it for you then I have to do it for everybody else. Sorry to be such a dick about it.' I was surprised by how sincere and apologetic he was, I told him it was fine though and that it was really good to meet him. Such a nice bloke, very approachable and genuinly seems to appreciate his fans and meeting them.
