About me:
Acclaimed for his brilliantly funny wit, his charming observations on
the absurdities of everyday life and his exceptional rapport with Australian
audiences – they just love this hilarious Irishman.
Jimeoin’s regular appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and his
widely successful Australian tours, attract sell-out advance bookings.
Internationally, Jimeoin has toured his compelling humour from New Zealand to Europe and the U.K., the Middle
East, the Far East and Canada’s Montreal Festival. He’s a regular at the Edinburgh Festival where, in 1994, he was
awarded the highly acclaimed “Critics Award”.
A keen fisherman and golfer, constant touring enables Jimeoin to enthusiastically experience new outdoor
adventures. Never a man to sit still for long, tackling every medium with renewed vigour, he has packed so much
into his colourful and humorous career. And to think…. there’s many, many more laughs to come.
