And I love Dad jokes and groan-inducing puns. Jeselnik, who performs next week in San Diego, said that when he was a kid, his parents bought a gun so they could protect their five children. The thing about Jeselnik — and most comedians — is their jokes are best heard in their own voice. Each has his or her own style of delivery. Even when telling his darkest jokes, Jeselnik wears a wry smirk and sounds almost bored, which is part of why the jokes work. An entire pack of cigarettes in one sitting. Just to teach me an important lesson — about brand loyalty. No subject is taboo for Jeselnik, who caught his break doing celebrity roasts. Rickles, of course, is the all-time king of roasters. If you can make someone laugh at themselves the way he did, then you are a master.

The title's not accidental: Jeselnik cites Jimmy Carr as a hero and "dead babies" as his subject of choice. The difference is Jeselnik is more entertaining than I've recently found Carr : the grossness isn't quite as unremitting and Jeselnik has charismatic swagger and self-irony, in place of Carr's metronomic implacability. But you get fewer jokes — not unusually for a visiting American , Jeselnik's set barely makes it to the hour mark, and only then with padding. The jokes we do get are often very good, assuming you're happy with wind-up one-liners about paedophilia, serial killing and the Final Solution. They're engineered to bait us with the promise of a noxious pay-off, then surprise us with the brand of noxiousness on offer. When a "hot" woman tells Jeselnik she's a brain surgeon, he says: "I was impressed" — pause — "because not many women, you know, can do sarcasm. The second half finds Jeselnik sharing his comic manifesto. Being the first to joke about major tragedies is a badge of pride, he says, arguing that it's not the victims he's attacking, but the sanctimony of public discourse. He then describes the flak he received when he publicly celebrated a New Zealand man's death in a shark attack.
