short biography
American comedian of Australian descent Jim Jeffries was born on February 14, 1977 in Perth. Real name is Jeff James Nugent. During a speech in Manchester's Manchester Comedy Store, a comedian was attacked, after which Jim received his first international attention. The moment of the attack was included in the DVD “Smuggling”, released in 2008, while the stand-up himself commented on the incident self-ironically. And after his debut “in a hurry” on HBO, Jeffries became widely known in the USA.
In addition to performing at a large number of festivals, comedian Jim Jeffries has participated in several British comedy shows, including, for example, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, radio shows and American shows. The stand-up also took an active part in the filming of the comedy series “Normal”, which started in January 2013. Despite a successful start and positive reviews, the series was closed at the end of two seasons.
Due to its growing popularity, in 2017, Jim opened his own personalized show, aimed at reviewing political events in the United States and around the world. Brad Pitt took part in it.
As for the personal life of the stand-up, as of 2013, he was in a relationship with Canadian actress Kate Layben. The partners have a common son, Hank.
The specifics of creativity
A notable detail in many of Jim Jeffries' speeches is that the comedian conducted them while intoxicated. Often during the show, the stand-up drinker drank beer, leaning back in his chair.
Jeffries' humor is rather tough and in some moments somewhat repulsive. The comedian does not really care about the feelings of believers and women. In the rush “Free”, which became the most popular in his work, the stand-by man manages to walk immediately through pregnant women, believers, politics, and even his own girlfriend.
