Here is a 6 minute clip stolen from the vaults of the Underbelly recorded on the last night of his Sell-out Edinburgh Festival run. This clip is just before he did the rest of his set laying down off camera...
Please note: Jim had been drinking VERY heavily this day! And the last 24 days previous.
An edited down version of Never mind the Buzzcocks with..
Antony Costa, Trisha Goddard, Jim Jeffries, Rick Wakeman and team captains Bill Bailey & Phill Jupitus hosted by Jeremy Clarkson
Jim Jeffries
"HE HAD THE CROWD IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND… IT'S A TIGHT HOUR OF BRILLIANT ANECDOTES AND BREATHTAKING CRUDITY, DELIVERED WITH SUCH LIKEABLE BLOKISHNESS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY DETERMINED NOT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME" - CHORTLE 13/08/06
Australian born Jim Jeffries is a headline performer in countries such as Canada, Asia, South Africa, Europe and the UK.
"THE AUSTRALIAN DOESN'T CARE WHO HE OFFENDS, BADGERING THOSE WHO RESIST UNTIL THEY CAPITULATE AND JOIN IN THE LAUGHTER, HARD HITTING AND EXPERTLY DELIVERED" THE HERALD 24/08/06
Regarded as one of the fastest rising stars in the comedy world, his brash confrontational style has made him one of the most sought after comics on the world stage.
"JEFFRIES DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OFFENDING THE THIN-SKINNED WITH HIS BRUTALLY HONEST OBSERVATIONS… HE HAD US ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS"
- THE LIST 10/08/06
Jim gets away with jokes that most comedians wouldn't touch due to his ability to both charm and offend the crowd through equal measures.
"VERY FUNNY… HE HAS A GIFT FOR BEING EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT. IN FACT, IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED THIS MIGHT BE ONE TO AVOID, IF YOU DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TO SERIOUSLY, GO ALONG AND MARVEL AT HOW JEFFRIES GETS AWAY WITH IT." - SKINNYFEST 22/08/06
In 2005 Jim wowed audiences at The Montreal 'Just for Laugh's' Festival where he was performing in the highly acclaimed 'Nasty Show'. Jim garnered one of the biggest press articles at the festival and was also moved above 2 of America's cult as neither could follow Jim's storming performances.
"LIKE ALL THE GREATS, HE IS ABLE TO TURN FILTH INTO AN ARTFORM" MONTREAL GAZETTE 17/07/05
In 2006 Jim made his return to the Edinburgh Festival with his solo show titled 'The Second Coming' which not only received seven 4 star reviews and numerous other press articles about his show. It sold out the whole run and he also managed to wind up Christian Voice as well. Hoorah!
