No turn left unstoned in this crude dude's stand-up act

Jim Jeffries - 30

(2007)
Jim Jeffries
E4 UdderBELLY. Until 27th Aug 21:50 (1hr)

Jim Jeffries is a rude man. Very rude. If you don't like your comedy sprinkled liberally with the C-word then you'll need to give this one a miss. Otherwise there's all the usual good stuff in here - witty observation, misdirection, and the ability to spin a yarn.

Oh, and filth (did I mention the filth?). Covering cancer of the penis (his own), paedophile celebs, disabled jokes and granny sex (again, his own), with extensive use of an Anglo-Saxon vocabulary, he'll give you guilty chuckles throughout the full hour of his set as audience members look around at each other to check if it's ok to laugh at the stuff he's coming out with.

His act finishes with a video of him at the Comedy Store, upsetting someone in the audience so much that they take things to their logical conclusion and rush the stage to punch him in the head. He spends a while analysing the punch and its motivation to good comic effect.

The current master of this school of shock comedy has to be Jerry Sadowitz, but Jim Jeffries definitely ploughs the same "outrageous and offensive" furrow, and is snapping at Sadowitz's heels in his ability to balance an audience between outrage and laughter. Catch the show while you can, but it's not for the faint-hearted! [Gordon Johnston]
