Jim Jefferies @ Ovens Auditorium

As always it's hard to describe what happens at a comedy show because most of the time your still laughing from the last joke to fully understand what is currently going on.

Jeffries was awesome, as expected.  We've never invited anyone to a Jim Jeffries show before because, even though they would be friends of ours, you don't know how people would react to some of the jokes.  But once you realize he is antagonistic to everyone, it's easy to enjoy the show.   I took Mike with me as A was out of town for work and he loved it.  He's now had the double dose of Aussie culture with Celeste Barber, and now Jim Jeffries.  As an expat I loved the bits about Coon cheese and Golden Gaytimes - and picking on the dude in the front row from some Sydney private school (you tell the Aussies in the crowd - we all booed him).  A shout out has to go to both of Jeffries openers but particularly the Aussie bloke (whose name slips my mind), who did a great little set about Queen Elizabeth, a day after her death.  It was respectful, but funny, but could only possibly be the first time he had done it given the time frame.

A great night, can't wait for the next tour.
