About

Comedian, actor, writer and Australia native Jim Jefferies is one of the most popular and respected comedians of his generation, entertaining audiences across the globe with his provocative, belief-challenging, and thought-provoking comedy.

He's released a total of ten stand-up specials since Contraband in 2008, including his most recent 2023 special High & Dry on Netflix, his fifth for the streaming service. In the special, newly married and loving life with his wife and kids, Jefferies sounds off on the laziness of koala bears, the injustices of male pattern baldness and the reason why he'll never drink again.

Jefferies has also starred in films and TV, including the comedy series Legit which he co-wrote, executive produced and starred in for FX. Jim hosted and co-created the popular Comedy Central series The Jim Jefferies Show, which ran for three seasons from 2017-2019.

In 2019, Jefferies was honored as Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at the Just for Laughs Festival.

His newest worldwide tour, Son of a Carpenter, launched in 2025.
