It finally happened, I saw Jimmy Carr, my all time favourite comedian, perform live on Wednesday night at Richmond Theatre.
It has been one of my biggest dreams to actually see this wonderfully funny man do what he does best, telling jokes to an audience. So, when I was able to get the last ticket available for the show, I didn't even think twice and just booked it. A few weeks later, the ticket came in the post and it started to seem more like a reality and not just a fantasy.
I researched the theatre, since it is located quite far away from central London, to make sure I had my journey all planned out and that my chances of getting lost would decrease. To my amazement, when I got to the Richmond theatre's website, I found a PDF flyer with all the information necessary. It is more than just a panflet that states the location or the time a person should arrive to see the show, it is a helping mechanism for anxious people. This had directions to the theatre, pictures of the entrance and corridors, it showed what someone needs to do to find their seat, where the bathrooms are located or even what happens before and after the show ends. I had never seen such thing, but I found it fantastic how they took the time to actually provide this and it did help me out because when I got there, I already knew everything I needed, making it a stress free situation.
After taking three buses on a rainy day, I finally got to Richmond. Richmond is a suburban town in west London, so it is quite far away, taking me more than an hour to get there.
It is a very quiet place, mostly surrounded by couples, gardens and very few traffic so giving a feeling of being completely safe.
I arrived nearly around 18h30, I decided to go to Costa café to grab something to drink and eat, which I did in a small park in front of the theatre while waiting for the doors to open.
At 19h30, everyone started to get in and find their places and I couldn't believe how close I was to the stage! Sitting in the third row, I not only had direct vision to my comedy idol, I felt really close to him. Of course, I had my little fangirl moment, no I didn't scream but my heart was beating loud.
From beginning to end, I and the other people sat down on a sold out place couldn't stop laughing, and since this was the greatest hits tour, all his best jokes collected over the years were presented, making it a must see show for his fans.
Jimmy is not your ordinary comedian, he takes comedy to a all new level and it is not for everyone. He is known for his dark humour and edgy one-liners, not forgetting his signature laugh that makes it harder to stop smiling and his love for hecklers in the middle of his show.
Here is an example:
