Fackham Hall (2025)

One of the more clever titles in recent memory (say it with a thick accent), this spoof of stuffy period dramas is a wonderful blend of ZAZ humor and Monty Python irreverence. Like many films of this ilk, it's stuffed with so many gags, you won't be able to catch them all the first time around. Even if you've never seen a Downton Abbey in your life, there's still plenty to enjoy, including the romance at the heart of it. Jimmy Carr lends his particular style of joke writing skill to great use, although it sometimes feels like the edginess is being held back in spite of its R rating. It's funny, but I wish it would have gone harder.

Jimmy Carr: Being Funny (2011)

A stand-up show from the British comedian that was filmed in Birmingham. If you don't know Jimmy's style, then you may be shocked by some of the things he says. Nothing is taboo. Everything is a target. He smashes through boundaries and just keeps on going. It works best when he delivers his quick fire observations in deadpan fashion. When he breaks from that formula it begins to feel a little forced and my attention wavered.
