Jimmy Carr admits the material in his Netflix show His Dark Materials is 'barely acceptable now' following his widely-condemned holocaust 'joke'.
The comedian has faced widespread backlash after making an 'abhorrent' remark about the atrocity in a joke that referenced the murder of up to half a million Roma and Sinti people by the Nazi regime.
Carr, 49, refused to answer questions as he arrived at the Whitley Bay Playhouse for his Terribly Funny Show last night, but he did make reference to the outrage as he went on stage.
As reported in The Mirror, Carr made quips about being cancelled, telling his audience: "The joke that ends my career is already out there."
As the comedian made a joke about catching a disorder from a "ch***y p*ff", he was heckled by a woman who yelled: "Are we going to talk about the holocaust?"
Carr replied: "We are going to talk about cancel culture, the whole thing.
"We are going to talk about f***ing everything people. Relax."
The comedian opened his show by joking: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Look at that, I've already upset the non-binary community.
"That has to be a f***ing record."
He later added: "We are speaking my friends in the last chance saloon.
"What I am saying on stage this evening is barely acceptable now. In ten years f***ing forget about it.
"You are going to be able to tell your grandchildren about seeing this show tonight.
"You will say I saw a man and he stood on a stage and he made light of serious issues.
"We used to call them jokes and people would laugh."
Carr then quipped: "There's a rare psychological disorder that causes people to tell inappropriate jokes.
"I know I have got it. I caught it off a ch***y p*ff. Can you say that? We'll see."
He later added: "I am going to get cancelled, that's the bad news. The good news is I am going down swinging.
"The joke that ends my career it's already out there. It's on YouTube, Netflix, or whatever, and it's fine until one day it f***ing isn't."
The beleaguered showman had cut it fine last night, turning up just 30 minutes before he was due on stage.
Today Celebrity Big Brother winner Paddy Doherty demanded police probe Jimmy over his “disgusting” joke about Gypsies.
“That wasn’t a joke. He’s talking about mass murder being a positive – would he be allowed to say this about black people killed by the Ku Klux Klan?
“There’s a level you don’t go to. More than a million of my people were killed.”
