Jim Jeffries – Hellbound: Melbourne International Comedy Festival

A steaming, brooding, snarling Jim Jeffries entered the stage with beers in hand and scowling into the audience.

Before his words were spoken my first thoughts to myself were “Jimmy looks like he has been hitting life pretty hard” Then he spoke... and my thoughts appeared to be confirmed.

Entering into Jim's world is a dark, truthful, mean and nasty experience. In fact Jim Jefferies shows should come with a health warning. There is nothing soft and gooey about Jim's performance. He hits hard and then digs the knife in a little deeper while you quite happily let him rip your world apart.

His subject matter touches on all that is politically incorrect, anal sex, pedophilia, drugs, porn you name it and Jim will have it all covered.

The most ludicrous and delicious thing about Jim Jefferies is he is a funny, funny man. His wit encircles you like a flame twirler in a gypsy nightmare. There are moments where you can hear the audiences shock and horror, and then a millisecond of silence, then roof lifting laughter, then a noticeable feeling comes over the audience, which I can only describe as a guilty pleasure to laugh in the face of political incorrectness.

I found Jims performance liberating, I felt I could let loose and escape our world of fake niceness. Jim gave me permission to laugh at the awkward and crazy experiences of his life. He led me down a dark passage, rubbed my face in the dirt, pushed me around a few times and somehow I feel better for the experience.
