Can comedy make itself understood without perfect language? Why do we laugh at someone even before we fully understand what they’re saying? In this Watch & Talk session, we’ll explore whether comedy can cross language barriers by watching and discussing scenes from the work of the great Jim Carrey. Even if you don’t immediately recognise his name, you almost certainly know his face, his expressions, and the exaggerated physical style that made him famous around the world. Together, we’ll look at clips from his films, stand-up, and sketches to unpack what makes them funny across cultures.

 

Jim Carrey is one of the most influential and beloved figures in modern entertainment, known for pushing comedy far beyond words through physicality, facial expression, timing, and emotional honesty. In the discussion, we’ll ask what parts of his humour work universally, where language still matters, and what this teaches us about communication more broadly. Expect a fun, smart conversation full of laughter, surprising insights, and moments of recognition, perfect for anyone curious about comedy, language, or why humour so often says what words can’t.

 

Let's sit back in comfy chairs with good friends and watch one of the funniest people who ever lived. And let's laugh loudly, so much that our stomachs hurt a little and we shed tears. And then, let's laugh more, and talk about it all.
