Jimeoin's back. Following a sold-out return last year, the Irish-Australian comic is bringing a brand-new show to Southport Comedy Festival's Under Canvas venue, and if you caught him before, you'll know it's worth the trip.

A two-hour evening of stand-up from Jimeoin on 6 October at Victoria Park. Expect fresh material from the comedian whose last Southport outing sold out—a decent sign he knows how to work a crowd.
The vibe
Under Canvas at Victoria Park feels properly autumnal by October, and there's something about a comedy tent that beats a stuffy theatre room. You'll get Jimeoin's unpredictable energy in a setting that's relaxed but still intimate enough to catch every laugh. The crowd will be warm, the atmosphere informal.
Getting tickets
Ticket prices vary depending on when you book, but under-canvas festival shows typically sit in the £20–£35 range. Best to grab them early—his last outing sold out. Check Skiddle and the Southport Comedy Festival site for availability and current pricing.
