Back for the 4th time and rounding off his tour of Ireland and the UK comes Belfast born
Aussie resident Jimeoin. Acclaimed as one of the hottest stand-up comics on Australia's live and television circuits he's a prolific writer with an exceptional audience rapport, known and loved for his brilliantly funny wit and charming observations on the absurdities of every day life.

Since leaving his hometown of Portstewart in Northern Ireland and settling down in Australia over a decade ago, Jimeoin’s disarmingly relaxed, cheeky and sometimes surreal sense of humour has led to him performing sell-out tours to record-breaking audiences across the length and breadth of his adopted homeland. He has also built up a following around the world including his native Ireland where he toured extensively at the end of 2008. His latest comedy series Jimeoin Down Under recently aired on BBC Northern Ireland and he looks set to make more TV appearances in the UK this year.

Naturally funny - and his audiences love him for it.

“Sharp as they come… laser-accurate… he is not so much stand-up comedian, more stand-up david attenborough…. This is comedy of the highest order”
Evening standard, 2008

In addition to his successful Australian tours Jimeoin can be seen touring New Zealand, Europe and the U.K. These have included: seasons at the prestigious EDINBURGH FESTIVAL where he won the highly acclaimed "Critics Award" and the MONTREAL FESTIVAL in Canada.

Jimeoin has appeared on numerous Australian Television shows including Tonight Live, Full Frontal, Bligh, The Midday Show and G.M.A. to name a few. Most significantly he wrote and performed in his own, simply self titled show, "Jimeoin" for the 7 Network in 1994 and 1995.
The programme extended to a third series due to the immense popularity of Jimeoin and the programme.

As well as countless appearances in Australia, Jimeoin has also performed on many top rating overseas programmes including The Des O'Connor Show (UK) and Late Night With Conan O'Brien (U.S.A.), which were viewed by over 13 million people.

In 1999 Jimeoin wrote and starred in his own feature film titled "THE CRAIC" - released by Village Roadshow. In its opening weekend THE CRAIC became the second highest grossing box office movie in Australia's history. It has now been released on video throughout western speaking countries, including his own native Ireland.

As a keen fisherman and golfer, constant touring enables him to experience many new golf and fishing locations. He'll love the Canal Saint Martin!

"Jimeoin recalls the familiar at a fantastically silly level,
boiling his audience down to a tear-filled, gibbering mess .”
