*Alcoholocaust: (Meaning: The aftermath of a drinking party, usually resulting in every available horizontal surface being covered in empty booze containers, spilled beverages, and a general sticky alcoholic residue.)
Here at long last is the eagerly awaited new DVD release from Jim Jefferies, the globally renowned Australian stand-up.
"Jefferies is currently stand-up comedy's most irresistible force." HERALD *****
Alcoholocaust was recorded in July 2010 at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftsbury Avenue, London and features a live and uncut performance which sees Jim in stunning 'booze-fuelled' form in front of an ecstatic sell-out West End audience.
"Genuinely hilarious" SUNDAY TIMES ****
Star of the his own one-hour HBO special 'I Swear To God' In the UK Jim can also currently be seen as the face of Comedy Central's 'Grouchy Young Men' and has appeared on the BBC1's 'Have I Got News For You' BBC 2's 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', Ch4's '8 Out of 10 Cat's',
"Other comedians may cut to the bone, even draw blood but when Jefferies is in full flow he is the stand up equivalent of Spinal Tap, with a single jab he can turn a cacophony of laughs into winces, gasps and giggles." METRO ****

I read a review of a different Jim Jefferies DVD which described him as an Australian Frankie Boyle. This is not true. This is nothing like the dross Frankie Boyle is producing these days.
No, what you get with Jim Jefferies is a brutally honest Aussie comic. If some of his stories are shocking its because life occasionally is shocking. Shockingly funny too. Shockingly rude as well. But I don't think I've ever met a drunken Australian who isn't. Thats not being stereotypical. The only drunken Australians I have ever met have been both rude and funny. Perhaps I ought to widen my circle of friends, but why? They aren't violent, so good luck to them.
Anyway, on with the DVD. I watched this with my wife, who is not so keen on swearing. She laughed herself silly throughout though. It was a bit like early Billy Connolly (when he was still funny) but a bit ruder. And he makes some valid points about our own morality too. I won't say what they were, as it will spoil it for you.
And the set contains an masterclass on how to tell a joke which involves a disabled person but doesn't patronise the disabled person or attack them.
Much better than most of the comedy DVDs around at the moment. They will seem very jaded in comparison once you have watched this.

Probably the best comedian of a generation.....Jim Jeffries steps up to the mark and delivers a veritable assault on the senses saying what others dare not even think. Side splittingly funny and on top of his game. His latest DVD Alcoholocaust is a must have. If you get the chance to see him live don't miss it...."There wasn't a dry hole in the house". Highly recommended but don't take your mum...unless you hate her then deffo take her it will be a blast....fantastic

Lost it
No where near as funny as his first contraband/I swear to god. I felt he was trying too hard to "act" like he did in those shows, but it didn't work now was it funny.

Jim Jefferies DVD
Having booked tickets to see Jim Jefferies I bought this DVD to watch beforehand.
I wasn't disappointed he was magic. What you get on the DVD was only a small portion of him. Read more
