ONE NIGHT ONLY IN PERTH, BRISBANE + SYDNEY IN FEBRUARY 2018
One of the most popular and respected comedians of his generation, Jim Jefferies is a familiar face in theatres and on televisions across the globe with his controversial, belief-challenging, and thought-provoking comedy. He is undeniably the biggest Australian name in global comedy, and the Jim Jefferies phenomenon continues to take on the world!
‘His fertile and twisted imagination not just crosses a line but gleefully barrels past it, a vodka pineapple in one hand, a middle finger flailing with the other... utterly brilliant.’ - New Times Palm Beach (USA)
Just in time for the festive season, Frontier Comedy are thrilled to announce that Jim will perform a trio of one-night-only shows in Perth, Brisbane and Sydney in February. From Carnegie Hall to the Hammersmith Apollo, and now Perth and Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centres to the iconic Sydney Opera House, no globally-treasured venue will be left unsullied by Jim’s biting, in-your-face genius.
In a busier than average year, 2017 kicked off with comedy savant and force of nature Jim having his very own late-night series commissioned for Comedy Central. The topical Jim Jefferies Show features Jim travelling across the globe to tackle the top stories and controversial issues of the day. With an initial order for ten half-hour episodes, the show’s popularity quickly saw a further ten episodes commissioned and aired after a five-week hiatus. And Jim’s voice is only growing in strength with a second season confirmed for 2018.
In addition to this successful late-night hosting gig, Jim somehow found time to go out on a mammoth, multi-city tour of the USA, UK, Europe, Israel and Canada to wrap up his huge year.
‘In-your-face social commentary that has pricked up audiences’ ears for nearly a decade.’ - Triangle Arts & Entertainment (USA)
‘In-your-face... hilarious.’ - Reviews St Louis (USA)
‘Fearless, raw, and biting. If Hemingway had a drinking buddy, it would be Jim.’ - Forbes (USA)
A heckler who was unceremoniously evicted by security from one of Jim’s 2017 New Zealand shows told The New Zealand Herald: "I’d still go see him again!”
With five brand-new, major stand-up specials released in seven years, Jim's iconic ‘gun control routine’ is now on the curriculum at colleges in the USA, and receives hundreds of thousands of new views on each ever-increasing occasion a mass shooting tragedy occurs in the USA. Jim is filming his sixth special for Netflix at one of the world’s most revered comedy venues, London’s majestic Hammersmith Apollo in January 2018.
His last Australian tour saw Jim sell over 50,000 tickets across twenty shows in nine Australian cities; it’s safe to assume these three dates will sell at breakneck speed. No dates will be added to this tour - get in quickly to secure your tickets!
