Ever wondered where the gigs are in France? Pretty dopey question, we know. Anyway, there’s a gig in Paris… at the Hotel du Nord… and they book American comics… and you don’t hafta speak French to work the gig. Laughing Matters is the outfit that books it. Coming up in September is Jimeoin, who is, according to the Laughing Matters website, “acclaimed as one of the hottest stand-up comics on Australia’s live and television circuits.” We can attest to this statement, as when we visited Australia in 1991, we ran into Jimoein on the streets of Sydney, in the Kings Cross section of town. (Small bloody world, yeah?) We recognized him because we had seen him on a TV talk show the night before. Turns out he’s Irish and he lives in Sydney… and next month, he’ll be gigging in Paris.
