His popular appreciation as a cheeky buoyant foreigner has allowed Jimeoin to dabble in multiple mediums and techniques -- film, television, stand-up; slapstick, sight, observational -- the crux being that his humour is universal while his grip on Australian culture is geared from the outside in.
Jimeoin's next film The Extra, about an aspiring actor continually downcast into scenery filling roles as a movie extra, is an enjoyable Australian comedy that's fun and funny.
Consequently, and also as a result of his sunny and smiling demeanour, Jimeoin is a show biz performer without a trace of pretension or vanity.
Jimeoin is acclaimed as one of the hottest stand-up comics on Australia's live and television circuits.
A prolific writer with an exceptional audience rapport, he is known and loved for his brilliantly funny wit and charming observations on the absurdities of every-day life.
Jimeoin's regular appearances at the MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESITVAL and his widely successful Australian tours attract sell-out advance bookings, his popularity reflected with additional performances at most venues.
