Jim Jefferies brings 'Son of a Carpenter' to Belfast this September
Australian comedian Jim Jefferies is bringing his razor-sharp wit and no-holds-barred humour to Belfast with his brand new stand-up show, Son of a Carpenter, at Waterfront Hall on 11 September 2025. Known for his brutally honest takes on everything from politics to parenting, Jefferies returns to the city as part of his latest UK and Ireland tour.
Over the past decade, Jefferies has carved out a unique space in the global comedy scene. Rising to fame with his blunt style and genius timing, he truly gained international attention after his 2014 Netflix special Bare, in which he famously discussed gun control — a moment that even landed him on late-night shows and interviews around the world.
His comedy is not for the faint-hearted, but always manages to balance controversy with insight. Behind the jokes is an artist who knows how to push boundaries without losing the audience. Whether performing in massive arenas or on late-night television, Jim’s timing and delivery have become his signature.
I once caught Jefferies live in London back in 2018. Five minutes in, he had the whole place howling. By the end of it, my face hurt from laughing, and even the front row looked like they had aged ten years from shock. If Belfast is anything like that night, audiences are in for a ride.
Beyond stand-up, Jim starred in the sitcom Legit, which gained a loyal following for its blend of dark humour and heartfelt storytelling, as well as The Jim Jefferies Show on Comedy Central, where he took on current events with humour and depth. These projects helped cement his reputation as more than just a stand-up act — he is a genuine voice in modern comedy.
Always tapping into the cultural moment, Jefferies’ shows are a mix of improvisation, opinion, and cutting observations. Whether tackling awkward family dinners or global headlines, he has a way of saying what everyone else is just thinking — and doing it with a smirk.
For those unfamiliar, you can catch more about Jefferies’ journey and style through this profile on The Guardian or learn about his earlier work from his Wikipedia entry.
With the buzz already growing across social media, Belfast is bracing itself for a night of bold laughs and raw humour.
