But in an interview last month he has insisted with comedy where it is today that ‘it feels like you can do whatever you want now’.

Jimmy admitted that his edgier jokes were ‘slightly playing with fire’, but that his ‘intention’ behind them was the most important thing, believing that they could be used as a way to ‘make sense of’ difficult topics.

Speaking to The Times about the criticism to his quips, he said: ‘Intention is important. With me, it’s clear what the intention of the evening is.

‘But the way it can get reported is as if you’re shouting jokes through someone’s letterbox at 9am.

‘I subscribe to the benign violation theory — that jokes are benign violations. You take a violation, no matter how extreme, but make it benign by joking about it.

‘Jokes can be a way to make sense of stuff. Think about how we use humour in our lives when something terrible happens, never mind on stage. 

‘There is a lot of laughter around grief, death and disease. There’s a real functionality to it. It makes something OK.’
