Jimeoin is currently on tour with his show “Jimeoin: The Craic!” and lands at the Memo on 30 and 31 March.
The long-time comedian and actor said the tour has been good so far, drawing crowds in with his simple and no gimmicky approach to comedy.
“The tour has been going really well. I’ve just come back from a month in the UK and it’s nice to be in good weather again,” he said.
Hoping to continue the trend of a well received show, Jimeoin hopes everyone who attends enjoys a good night out, full of belly laughs.
“It’s nice being in a room full of people all laughing at the same thing,” he said.
Jimeoin’s approach to comedy is to take any and all opportunities, travelling far and wide to his audiences all over the world.
“I just do as many gigs as I can. In different size rooms wherever. Keeps you sharp,” he said.
Jimoein has been a working comedian since the 1990’s and can’t quite point to what has sustained his art.
“It’s beyond me to be honest. I still can’t believe I’m getting away with this, but I’m not complaining,” he said.
The English born Irish comedian and actor became well known in Australia in the early 1990’s when he appeared on his own television show.
He still travels quite extensively for his comedy gigs, attending the Edinburgh Fringe every year.
When asked about what in his comedy appeals to his audience his answer is quirky and quite humble for someone with such an established career.
“Someone said to me that I have a funny head and I just look funny, that might be a big part of it,” he said.
“I also don’t really have a lot to say for myself and I don’t really have a lot of strong opinions, I would like to think I was funny.”
Jimeoin asks his Healesville audience to relax and let him come to them.
“You lot sit where you are. I’m on my way,” he said.
