Australian born Jim Jeffries is a headline performer in countries such as America, Canada, Asia, South Africa, Europe and the UK. Regarded as one of the fastest rising stars in the comedy world, his shockingly charming style has made him one of the most sought after comics on the world stage. Jim gets away with jokes that most comedians wouldn't touch due to his ability to both charm and offend the crowd with equal measures.
Jim returned to the Edinburgh Festival last summer, where he performed a month long, sold-out run of his critically acclaimed, smash-hit new solo show Hammered. As one of the most successful acts at Edinburgh several years running, Jim performed for over 5,000 people. Jim was the talk of the Montreal "Just for Laughs" Comedy Festival in 2007, wowing audiences with his performances in the Nasty Show, and most notably, his one-hour solo show. Jim first appeared at the "Just for Laughs" Festival in 2005, where he performed in the highly acclaimed "Nasty Show," and garnered one of the biggest press articles at the festival.
Most notably, is Jim's one-hour HBO Special, "I Swear to God," which is now airing.
In America Jim has also been seen on HBO's "Down and Dirty with Jim Norton." In England, he 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.

I had seen Jims Jeffries HBO special before going to see him. I had loved the special and so had high expectations of the show. He not only met, but far exceeded my expectations, he was fantastic. He is far beyond a typical comedian, he is following in the footsteps of icons such as George Carlin and Richard Pryor and is well on his way to being a comedy icon for this generation. Using stories, wit and razor sharp delivery he had everyone in the palm of his hand and had won over every person in the audience. Very few comedians today have what it takes to be truly great, only two others that I can even think of are Eddie Izzard and Louis CK. Jim Jeffries has joined this very exclusive "club" as one of the greatest minds in comedy and is well on track to being an icon such as those that he so admires, Carlin and Pryor. I will be first in line for tickets when he returns to Chicago.
