Australian-born comedian Jim Jefferies has become a headline performer across the globe, captivating audiences in America, Canada, Asia, South Africa, Europe, and the UK. Known for his shockingly charming style, Jefferies has rapidly risen to prominence as one of the most sought-after comics on the international stage. His unique ability to both charm and offend audiences in equal measure allows him to deliver jokes that other comedians might shy away from. Jefferies has enjoyed significant success at the Edinburgh Festival, where he has returned multiple times to perform his critically acclaimed solo shows, including a month-long, sold-out run of "Hammered." His performances have drawn in over 5,000 people, cementing his status as one of the top acts at the festival year after year. In 2007, Jim Jefferies became the talk of the Montreal "Just for Laughs" Comedy Festival with his performances in the "Nasty Show" and especially his one-hour solo shows. He first appeared at the festival in 2005 and quickly garnered attention with a standout performance in the "Nasty Show," which resulted in one of the biggest press articles of the festival that year. In England, Jefferies has appeared on popular television shows such as ITV2's "Comedy Cuts," "If.Com Eddies," BBC1's "Heaven & Earth," and BBC2's "Never Mind the Buzzcocks." Additionally, he was featured on Channel 4's "The History of Offensive Humor," as well as "The World Stands Up" and "Edinburgh and Beyond" for the Paramount Comedy Channel. Jefferies' talent caught the eye of HBO executives following his performance at the 2008 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, leading to an appearance in their comedy showcase "Down and Dirty with Jim Norton." In May 2009, Jefferies' first American television hour special was premiered on HBO. The special, titled "Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God," was recorded at the Skirball Center of New York University. Upon moving to the United States, Jefferies altered the spelling of his last name from "Jeffries" to "Jefferies" due to an existing performer with the same name. This minor change marked the beginning of a new chapter in his burgeoning career as he continued to delight and provoke audiences with his daring comedic style.
