Jimeoin

STAND-UP COMEDY
Jimeoin – 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.

TOURING
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”.

TELEVISION
A familiar face on Australian television, Jimeoin has appeared on the top variety and comedy Television programs.

His self-titled and immensely popular show “Jimeoin” aired nationally on the Seven Network for three series during 1994-1995.

Jimeoin has also made guest appearances on top-rating overseas television programs including The Des O’Connor Show (UK) and USA’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien (a viewing audience of over 13 million).

His one-hour “tea towel” tour of Ireland documentary was a quirky, self-styled travel special, inspired by constant touring and a love of his native land. The program aired nationally in Australia on Network Ten in 2001. He also hosted two one-hour documentaries highlighting the 2001 “Just for Laughs” Montreal Comedy Festival, which aired nationally on Network Ten.

FILM
In 1999, Jimeoin wrote and starred in his own feature film titled “THE CRAIC” (Village Roadshow). In its opening weekend, “The Craic” became the second highest grossing box office movie in Australian-produced film history. It has since been released on video/DVD throughout western speaking countries, including his native Ireland.

In 2005, Jimeoin released his second feature film, “THE EXTRA” (Macquarie Films/Hoyts), a romantic comedy about an average guy who aspires to be a move star. Written by, and starring, Jimeoin, cast included Rhys Muldoon, Bob Franklin, Shaun Micallef and Kristy Hinze.
