Jimeoin: Ballyhoo!
A not-to-be-missed, hilarious evening with a genuine stand-up comedy legend who is globally hailed as one of live comedy’s masters – we are absolutely delighted to welcome our favourite Irishman from Australia to The Varieties with his sublimely funny new tour Jimeoin: Ballyhoo!
Jimeoin’s cheeky no-gimmicks sense of humour, superb material and broad appeal keeps audiences in stitches across the globe. You might be one of the hundreds of millions of fans who have viewed his online comedy clips, or perhaps you’ve seen his laugh-out-loud TV appearances on Live at the Apollo or The Royal Variety Performance… but nothing beats seeing this observational joke maestro on fire and in his element – live on stage!
For a guaranteed fun-packed night out of great craic and great jokes, we recommend you book early!
