Get your skates on and enjoy “Jimeoin On Ice”. From the magical world of Jimeoin comes his new, smash hit show – “Jimeoin On Ice” which received five star review at the Einburgh Fringe Festival 2008. See Jimeoin gracefully skate through brilliantly funny observations on the absurdities of everyday life. Jimeoin’s strength lies in his detail. His routines are sustained solely by the most subtle of facial expressions, as he explains the fine line between looking cunning or appearing sleazy, and why our hope is stored below and despair hovers above. With previous sell-out seasons in Montreal, Edinburgh and London, you will not want to miss the brilliance of Jimeoin.

Jimeoin has forged a remarkable comedy career in his adopted homeland, as well as touring the world to critical and commercial acclaim. His regular appearances at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne Comedy Festival, not to mention his widely successful Australian tours always attract sell-out audiences. Equally as well-known in his native Ireland as he is in his adopted homeland, he has an extensive international touring portfolio, including New Zealand, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and repeat invitations to the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival.

Jimeoin is one of the very few comedians to have his own show on a national network. And he is also a favourite on International Television having appeared on “Late Nights with Conan O’Brien” and several UK Television guest appearances. Jimeoin has appeared in two feature films “The Craic” and “The Extra” both achieved broad success and have been released internationally.

A keen fisherman and golfer, constant touring enables Jimeoin to enthusiastically experience new outdoor adventures. Never a man to sit still for long, tackling every medium with renewed vigour; he has packed so much into his colourful and humorous career. Jimeoin is also a committed environmentalist.

Jimeoin is about to embark on a tour of Ireland and then returns to Oz to perform in the Northern Territory. He then tours New Zealand before returning to Oz to perform at The Sydney Opera House in November 2008.
