Jim Jefferies

Jim Jefferies, hailing from Australia, headlines around the globe.  His unprecedented rise in the comedy world is due to his charming, Carlinesque storytelling which has made him the most sought after comedian on the world stage.

After three consecutive years of performing smash hit, sold out, solo shows at the famous Edinburgh Festival, Jim returned this year to do “The Hits,” a compilation of all his most loved material.  Jim last appeared at the Montreal “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival in 2007 where he was the talk of the festival and wowed audiences with his performances in the Nasty Show and his outrageously successful one-hour solo show.

Most notable is Jim’s one-hour HBO Special “Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God,” which aired in May with great success.  Jim’s bold and painfully honest commentary captivated all who tuned in.   The special will re-air this fall in promotion of the DVD release on October 13.  In England, Jim has appeared on such shows as ITV2’s “Comedy Cuts” and “If.Com Eddies,” as well as on BBC1’s “Heaven & Earth,” and BBC2’s “Never Mind the Buzzcocks.”  Jim was also on Channel 4’s “The History of Offensive Humor,” as well as “The World Stands Up” and “Edinburgh and Beyond” for the Paramount Comedy Channel. In America, Jim has also been seen on HBO’s “Down and Dirty with Jim Norton” and he just hosted “Live at Gotham” for Comedy Central.
