Stand up comedy
Jimeoin is acclaimed as one of the hottest stand-up comics on Australia's live and television circuits. A prolific writer with an exceptional audience rapport, he is known and loved for his brilliantly funny wit and charming observations on the absurdities of every-day life.
Touring
Jimeoin's regular appearances at the MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL and his widely successful Australian tours attract sell-out advance bookings, often with extra shows added due to demand.
Internationally, Jimeoin has toured to great acclaim from New York to New Zealand, Aspen to Amsterdam, the Middle East to the Far East. He has also performed around Europe and the UK and is a regular invitee to the mecca of comedy, Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival .
And, of course, he regularly sells out seasons at the EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE for which he has received rave reviews and even an award or two.
Television
A familiar face on Australian television, Jimeoin has appeared on all the nation's top variety and comedy programs including GMA, Rove (live), The Panel, Full Frontal, Bligh, The Midday Show and Tonight Live.
The three series of his own hit show "Jimeoin" (Seven Network) consistently won the ratings when they were transmitted in 1994-1995.
Jimeoin has also made regular guest appearances on top-rating overseas television programs including Des O'Connor in the UK and Late Night with Conan O'Brien in the US (with a viewing audience of over 13 million).
His one-hour "Tea Towel Tour" of Ireland documentary (for Network Ten, Australia in 2001) was a quirky, self-styled travel special, inspired by constant touring and a love of his native land. The same year he also hosted two one-hour documentaries showcasing Montreal's " Just for Laughs " comedy Festival Film
In 1999, Jimeoin wrote and starred in his debut feature film "THE CRAIC" (Village Roadshow). Its opening weekend made it the second highest grossing box office movie in Australian-produced film history and it went on to have hugely successful video releases throughout western speaking countries. In his native Ireland, it was second only to THE MATRIX.
2004 sees Jimeoin shooting his much-anticipated new comedy movie, THE EXTRA, which he has again written and stars in. Due for release around Christmas, it's a romantic comedy about an average guy who aspires to be a movie star and is willing to give anything a go to get there.
Lastly...
In addition to the above, Jimeoin has produced three top-selling CD's: "GOIN OFF", "THE CRAIC" and "FORKLIFT TRUCK". His 2003 DVD “ALL OVER THE SHOP” is a best seller in Australia and talks are afoot for a UK release.
A keen fisherman and golfer, his constant touring enables Jimeoin to check out and experience new outdoor adventures. Never a man to sit still in his career for long, he is forever doing gigs, trying new things and having a laugh – and there's many, many more to come.
