The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr is a comedy podcast where each week a different celebrity guest pitches an idea for a film based on one of the SUPER niche sub-genres on Netflix.
From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between.
By the end of every episode, Jimmy Carr, Comedian by night / “Netflix Executive” by day, will decide whether the pitch is greenlit or condemned to development hell!
Jimmy Carr is an award-winning stand-up comedian and writer, touring his brand-new show JIMMY CARR: LAUGHS FUNNY throughout the USA from May to November this year, as well as across the UK and Europe, before hitting Australia and New Zealand in early 2026.
The Big Pitch is a co-production by Netflix and BBC Studios Audio.
This is The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr, and our guest is Romesh Ranganathan! And Romesh’s subgenre is… BRB Crying. Will Romesh deliver a beautiful and moving film pitch that makes Jimmy break down crying? Or will his idea be a fever dream of orangutans, ancient curses, and having sex in front of animals? Listen in to find out!
