Some comics just get it right. Jim has been doing just that for years now.
I first got the chance to gig with him back in the UK in 2006 and loved his work.
I prefer my comics to say it as it is. Jim does just that.
Jim shot to prominence over a bloody youtube clip of him being punched. Granted it didn’t make him funnier, but it did make him famous.
A million of hits later and it certaily cemented some notoraity for a man who was going on to bigger things. Anyway, he moved to the USA a few years ago and has since seen his career skyrocket with his own show “Legit”
He has a string of specials and one-man shows out there too.

Even though he shot to fame by being punched in the head. I think he is still pretty Legit, which suits as ‘Legit’ is also the name of his US show. I’d love to see him perform live when he is in Cape Town!
