jim jeffries... live at opus

Press Reviews
Jim played Jongleurs, Glasgow a couple of weekends ago and the guy absolutely killed all three nights. Amazing set and had the audience in tears with his closing poem, "Turned, Smiled and Giggled.” Forget Shakespearean sonnets, forget Sylvia Plath or Emily Dickenson. This guy is a genius when it comes to poetry.
Edinburgh Comedy review

He is the best comic going around and a really good guy. It’s good to see a comic say something and not try to be like Bill Hicks. If you get upset by what he has to say, you are probably an idiot. Unreal material, I have never laughed so hard.
Lee Pennock Critic

This guy is awesomely funny. I saw him last night and honestly came close to choking from laughing so hard. It wasn't even his show; he was the compere and he still made me laugh like I've hardly ever laughed before. He is a dirty comedian, there is no disguising that, but he carries it off so well. He is offensive without actually offending anyone. A very talented and very funny young man.
Chloe London Standard

Saw him at Manchester Comedy Store; gets away with material that is beyond offensive, but that’s an endorsement of how well it's delivered. Short set but the funniest guy I've seen for months.
Rick 09.08.04

I recently saw Jim Jeffries at the Comedy Store in Manchester. He is a great comedian and was the funniest of the lot. He made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Don't get hung up on the sex; that's only part of it. He is very witty, astute and distinctly audible.

Christmas....and all that jazz

its that time of the year again !!!
... when i have to abandon my vests and shorts and wear horrid musty smelling woolies ...
... when i have a constant blocked nose ... when my feet look really hideous ... actually thats not true ... it looks like that all the year round (though its nice that there's an entire season to blame it on)
but most importantly .. CHRISTMAS is coming !!
...so its mistletoe and magic and marzipans and merriment and of course ... music!!!
its also a big big time for opus cos we opened 2 years ago with a festival called the 8 days of Christmas. we were young then and didnt know the ways of the world... (read running a restaurant), didnt have a liqour license (whats xmas without liquor, i say) but we managed to pull it off nonetheless...
last year, 2004, was bigger and better .. with a goan flea market, some great xmas goodies, and some of bangalores best musical talent ... choirs, bands, kissmass kroaknights, stand up comedy, pantomimes .. it was really special
we are in the process of figuring out what this year is gonna be like ..
the 8 days of christmas are from the 17th to the 24th of december ... not to leave anything to speculation, the theme this year will be christmas :D
so if there is anyone who would want to be part of it in any shape or form (talent, elves, sponsors)pls call/mail me..
a part of what we collect will go towards charity.

cheers
carlton
