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 proving to be in high demand, this long-awaited run will see Jefferies deliver his trademark blend of razor-sharp wit, fearless social commentary, and unflinchingly honest storytelling to audiences across the country — including a highly anticipated date at the Brighton Centre on 29 November.
Born in Sydney, Australia, but forged in the heat of the UK’s vibrant comedy circuit, Jefferies’ return has the energy of a homecoming. In the years since he first cut his teeth on British stages, he has risen to become one of the world’s most recognisable and uncompromising comedic voices. His work spans acclaimed stand-up specials, successful television series, and unforgettable live tours, earning him legions of fans who flock to see his unfiltered take on the world.
With Son of a Carpenter, Jefferies promises a fresh hour of material that is both deeply personal and globally resonant — a show that examines the absurdities of modern life while taking aim at the beliefs, behaviours, and taboos that define our times. Known for his ability to walk the fine line between controversy and relatability, he invites audiences to laugh, think, and maybe even squirm in their seats, all in the space of a single set.
From sell-out arenas in the US to standing ovations across Europe, Jefferies’ comedic reach knows no bounds. His previous tours have been described as “brutally funny” and “fearless in their honesty,” cementing his reputation as a performer who refuses to pull punches, no matter the subject.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time attendee, Son of a Carpenter offers the chance to see one of comedy’s true heavyweights at the height of his powers — raw, relevant, and ready to make you laugh like never before.
