Post Eight - Jimeon

[NB: This post is part of a job application]

Jimeon - Komedia Bath - March 14th 2012

The brilliant comedian Jimeon, who is of Irish / Australian decent, will bring his own style of dry-wit comedy to Komedia Bath (which is regarded as one of the finest live comedy venues in the South West) on Wednesday 14th March, as part of a wider UK tour running throughout the month.

Not one to “downplay” his past, Jimeon has appeared in several “high-profile” feature films, including his 1999 debut ‘The Craic’ - which according to his biography was “second only to The Matrix” in terms of sales. (Possibly one to rent from LoveFilm if you can find it!)

Jimeon is no stranger to television either, having appeared on several well-known and respected television shows in Australia, the UK, and America. These include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (see video below), Conan O’Brien, The Very Best of the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, and last (but definitely not least) Des O’Connor!



To prove that we aren’t just making up how successful Jimeon is, we asked a load of popular magazines and newspapers what they thought. Here are some of the nicer comments!

"This is the comedy of one who truly perceives human behaviour, breaks it up and puts it all together again in all its ridiculousness, to leave you with your eyes streaming… Comic genius!” Edinburgh Evening News

“As sharp as they come, laser-accurate with his observational comedy… Each punchline is beautifully underlined with a subtly arched eyebrow. In an age of warped wit, he is disconcertingly inoffensive.” – London Evening Standard

Tickets for Jimeoin on Wednesday 14th March 2012 are priced from £14.50 (£24.50 as part of Bath Komedia’s fantastic meal deal) and are available from the Komedia Bath website. Doors open at 19:00, with the show beginning at 20:00.
