One of the most influential and provocative voices in global comedy returns to the UK for a
major nationwide tour.
Acclaimed comedian, actor, and writer Jim Jefferies has officially announced the UK leg of
his brand-new stand-up tour, Son of a Carpenter. Already on sale and in high demand, this
long-awaited run will see Jefferies bring his sharp, belief-challenging, and deeply personal
brand of comedy to audiences across the UK in September and November 2025.
Born in Australia but forged in the UK’s vibrant comedy scene, Jefferies’ return feels like a
homecoming. Now an international comedy titan, he has earned a reputation for
entertaining audiences across the globe with his provocative and thought-provoking
comedy.
Jefferies has released ten stand-up specials, including five Netflix hits. His latest, High &
Dry (2023), finds him reflecting on newly married life, the laziness of koala bears, the
injustices of male pattern baldness and the reason why he’ll never drink again, all delivered
with the brutal honesty and brilliant wit fans have come to love.
He has also starred in the FX series Legit, which he co-created and produced, and hosted
Comedy Central’s The Jim Jefferies Show (2017–2019), known for its bold takes on politics
and culture. In 2019, he was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at the Just for Laughs
Festival, further cementing his status as one of comedy’s most respected voices.
Currently, he can be seen hosting FOX’s reality show, The Snake, where contestants must
use their training, charm, and powers of persuasion as they face fear-inducing challenges
designed to showcase their true colors. He will also be starring in Jordan Peele’s newest
production, Him, alongside Tyriq Withers, Marlon Wayans, and Julia Fox which releases in
September 2025. Up next, his new Netflix special, Jim Jefferies: Town Limb Policy will
premiere worldwide on August 12 th .
