    Jim Jefferies: Contraband

  • Overview

    Last year’s critically acclaimed show ‘30’ sold out every night at the Edinburgh Festival and his UK and US tours. From those tours, Jeffries, the controversial Aussie stand-up, brings you his debut DVD, Contraband Live. Succeeding with jokes that most comedians wouldn't touch, and an ability to both charm and offend the crowd in equal measure, Jim is regarded as one of comedy’s fastest rising young stars. His brash confrontational style has made him one of the most sought after comics on the world stage, appearing on numerous TV shows and performing at all the major comedy and music festivals across Europe and the US. He has hosted the NME Awards in LA and narrowly avoided being bombed whilst performing to the troops in Iraq.

Je m'appelle Paul, je suis Anglais et j'habite en France. J'ai fait un premier spectacle de stand-up intitulé "#Franglais" which was half in English and half in French. It went pretty well, so I've decided to do another show called "So British (ou presque)". It's the same concept. A show that is in both languages but with brand new jokes and stories that you've never seen before. Et si tu te poses la question: "Est-ce que je vais comprendre son anglais?", j'ai une astuce: si t'as compris cette description, c'est bon. Sinon, j'ai un pote qui peut t'aider à préparer le TOEIC. Si tu ne sais pas ce que c'est le TOEIC, là, je peux vraiment pas t'aider. If your French is good enough to understand this description, you'll bee laughing. See you on stage!
