Jimeoin sold it out last year, and he's coming straight back. The Irish-Australian comic's bringing a fresh set to Southport's Under Canvas venue, and if you caught him before, you'll know he's worth the trip.

Jimeoin takes the stage on 6 October 2026 from 8pm to 10pm at Victoria Park. This is a brand-new show, so even if you've seen him live before, there's fresh material to sink your teeth into. He's the sort of comic who builds entire routines from the kind of everyday observations that somehow nobody else has noticed.
The vibe
Under Canvas at Victoria Park is a proper festival atmosphere—think open air, autumnal Lancashire weather (bring a jumper), and an outdoor crowd that's there for a good laugh. Jimeoin's the kind of storyteller who holds a room, works the material methodically, and builds to genuine laughs rather than relying on shock value. It's engaging, unpretentious comedy in a relaxed setting.
Getting tickets
Tickets are available through Skiddle. Prices vary depending on the package, but Southport Comedy Festival tickets are generally reasonable—expect the range that makes a night out feel like proper value. Book soon given last year's sell-out status.
