Jimmy Carr: I'm glad I had a normal job

Comedian Jimmy Carr, 38, worked in an oil company marketing department before becoming one of Britain's most prominent and successful stand-ups. He has presented numerous TV shows, including 8 Out Of 10 Cats, and is a regular guest on the QI panel show.

Your new DVD is billed as ‘too rude and offensive for TV’ – in what way? 

It certainly wouldn’t make it past Ofcom. When you make a TV show, you’re a guest in someone’s house. With live shows, you can do what your sense of humour is. It’s the sort of jokes I’d tell my friends. My jokes can be offensive and cruel on a surface level but I’m just trying to make people laugh – there’s nothing more to it.

Do you ever wish you’d continued working in the oil industry? 

No but I’m glad I had a normal job. If you don’t have anything to compare it against you don’t realise how privileged you are to be working in showbiz. It’s nice to have had a job where I had to haul my arse into the office.
