Jimmy Carr had one of his jokes savagely heckled by audience member

Jimmy Carr is known for his unforgiving jokes, dark humour and iconic responses to heckling from his audiences.

Particularly that last one too, because so many comedians struggle to hit back at mouthy audience members - but it's like watching a duck take to water when Carr embarrasses someone in the crowd.

However, there are times when a duck drowns momentarily in water. What I'm trying to say is there can be the rare instance where an attendee outwits Carr, and even catches it on video.

It really is an unexpected turn of events, as one heckler got his phone out before his moment in the spotlight and got a jab in at one of Carr's stand-up shows.

Originally uploaded to social media by user @scottshady, he captioned the TikTok clip: "Not every day you get to steal the show at a Jimmy Carr gig."

It was all part of the Brit's Terribly Funny tour, which ran from 2021 to 2022.

The exact gig that the video was from hasn't ever been revealed, but it's an entertaining watch.

The clip begins with Carr starting a joke, saying: "My girlfriend is capable of having multiple orgasms... she had three last year."

Of course, Carr's crude joke was immediately met with laughter by the audience... until Scott decided to chime in with his own quip.

"With different men!" he shouted, generating an even louder eruption of laughter mixed with applause.

"I got to heckle Jimmy Carr and the crowd loved it," was the on-screen caption of the video.

Sadly, the video cuts off before Carr gave his reaction to the savage come-back, but his silence for a few seconds following the heckle kind of says it all.

But we all know that hecklers usually don't have an easy time with the savage comedian.

Back in 2021, while out on the same Terribly Funny tour, Carr lost his temper at a fan who refused to leave when asked during a show at The Lighthouse, Poole.

An audio recording captured the moment the funny man lost his rag with the disruptive heckler who had actually been complained about by fellow audience members. The nerve.

According to a source, the heckler made several loud remarks throughout the show including that Carr's jokes weren't funny and that he'd heard them before.

While the disruptor is inaudible, Carr can be heard saying: "You've got to f***ing go," before adding: "If it's any consolation, I'll keep the money."

On top of that, Carr reportedly had to stop 'three or four times' and was getting 'visibly frustrated' as the heckler was talking loudly during his performance.

When the man was eventually removed from the venue by security, Carr apologised to the audience for the disruption and a comedy fan who was at the show said: "This is the only time I've seen Jimmy get angry and I've been to a lot of his shows. He was clearly very upset.

"The heckler was given several chances, with Jimmy warning him throughout the show and even assigning a member of staff to sit with him. He dealt with it in a very funny way, but definitely upset the atmosphere."
