Jim Jeffries is back in town for a very short run and is basically doing a Greatest Hits show reprieving some of his best material as produced over the last seven years, with a little bit of new stuff thrown in to boot.

Jeffries is not the easiest of comics to get into, however he is worth the effort of trying ‘cause once he in your system, he will not get out readily.

Ambling onto the stage, pint in hand JJ is straight into his set giving the concept of his show and is straight into the material.

The man is often dark with his humour, he certainly is not a soft and fluffy option, and is prone to call a spade a effin shovel, but however strong his language I cannot find him at all offensive.

This hard drinking, straight talking Aussie spends much of his life in America these days, so this could be the last chance to see him for a while, so if you are unaware of him, this could be a great chance to see some of his best stuff, not that there is much that’s poor anyway, as I believe extra shows may well be added. Try to get a ticket if you can.
