I did see a couple of clips on YouTube of Chris's standup - one where he was doing the 007 auditions to Sean Connery, and another with voices I didn't entirely recognize but still realized were probably being done quite well; the crowd was certainly entertained. He was very animated (and, my God, NERVOUS; I wonder at what point he finally stopped twisting the microphone stand like he was drilling for oil, poor kid).
I'd say that moment felt sort of um-Rimmer too, except that we do see flashes of concern in the TV show for Lister when he's sick or upset about something. I think Rimmer is a mother hen of sorts, as weird as that may sound - I almost wonder sometimes if that's why he and Kryten don't get on so well, because they both see it as their job to look after Lister, just in different ways (i.e., stimulating - arguing, needling, etc. - versus serving).
