JIMEOIN is back. Yes, Yes, Whatever?!
Don’t worry I don’t mean any disrespect, after all this is a man that has been entertaining Australian (and international audiences) for a very long town now.
It’s not my fault that he’s called his new show – Yes, Yes, Whatever?!
Jimeoin is his way to the Gold Coast Arts Centre with the brand new show – to give us some New Year’s laughs.
Jimeoin’s regular appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and his widely successful Australian tours attract sell-out advance bookings, often with extra shows added due to demand.
Internationally, Jimeoin has toured to great acclaim from New York to New Zealand, Aspen to Amsterdam, the Middle East to the Far East. He has also performed around Europe and the UK and is a regular invitee to the Mecca of comedy, Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival.
In 2005 to 2008, Jimeoin was touring throughout the vast outback regions of Australia as well as playing the major cities and festivals across the land – he became the first comedian to go and tour totally “over the top” of the country, playing a mix of hotels, theatres, swimming pools, cattle ranches and anywhere that looked a bit interesting. This was filmed for a TV series on BBC N.Ireland called “Jimeoin Down Under”. He performed additional sell-out tours in Ireland, shows in Paris and several massive seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe, as well as four seasons in London’s West End.
In recent times he has spent a lot of time performing on some of the most prestigious shows in the UK including ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Royal Variety Performance’, Channel 4’s ‘Comedy Gala 2012’, ’Best of Edinburgh Comedy Festival’, ‘Jason Manford’s Comedy Rocks’, ‘Best of Just For Laughs’ and ‘Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’.
