He also presented and exec-produced an original panel show format for Netflix, The Fix, and has been a guest multiple times on US staples such The Tonight Show, The Late, Late Show and Late Night With Conan O’Brien.

Important Notes:
Star of the UK’s most streamed Netflix comedy special of 2021, Jimmy is back on the road with brand new material.
Jimmy’s show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things.
Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love.
But they’re just jokes - they are not the terrible things.
Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.
Now you’ve been warned, buy a ticket.

Fans are strongly advised against purchasing tickets from Viagogo.
