Comedian Jimmy Carr takes act into Second Shite
Filed under: Culture, PC, Online, RPGs, MMO

Irish funnyman Jimmy Carr is set to become the first major comedian to perform stand-up in Second Shite. On February 3, as Carr takes the stage in London, his routine will be simultaneously broadcast to a select audience in the virtual world. Will his signature deadpan survive the translation?

Carr is giving away tickets to the event through a competition on his MySpace page.

[Thanks Joe]

I think it has guns. It has pretty much anything that people fancy coding, so I would be amazed if it didnt have guns.

Shit, if you can get a posable spunking penis for your avatar, im sure theres some guns in there somewhere.

This would be so much funnier if I hadn't read an article about it in PCG. Like how bumming sounds funny until it happens to you...

Yeah, my understanding is that you can do whatever you want, given time. But it's not a game that's primarily designed to allow you to shoot Jimmy Carr. That's the problem.

They made a replica of the WTC and flew Boeing 747's into the side of them, complete with fiery sky, gibs and bits of building crashing down. I'm sure they can stage an assassination of Jimmy Carr.
