Comedian Jimmy Carr posted a 15-second clip from his Killing Jokes tour, promoting tickets, shortly after Russell Brand was jailed for 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault. In it, Carr answers an audience question about Brand with a joke about prison rape, and some X users accused him of cashing in.
