Jimeoin caught me off guard by coaxing out that first laugh before I had time to think, capturing a receptive audience from the very beginning of his hour-long performance.
Jimeoin’s show is filled with relatable, easygoing jokes and anecdotes, nailing observational humour where other comedians fall short. The bulk of his show focuses on everyday topics like supermarket shopping and trying to catch a bartender’s eye in a busy crowd, and his seamless delivery brings these mundane topics to life. This aspect of his show is broken up with some slightly random and well-received jokes, like his musing on how people seem to be achieving things younger and younger these days. Jimeoin quips, “I met a 14-year-old girl in a chat room the other day and she was a detective! I’m meeting her at the train station tomorrow.”
I won’t do any more of his jokes a disservice by trying to write them in here and no doubt allowing them to fall short, so just take my word for it and go and see the show.
