Comedian Jim Jefferies to bring Son of a Carpenter tour to Manchester

Brutally honest and brilliantly sharp, Jefferies heads out on a 20-date UK run

Globally renowned comedian and provocateur Jim Jefferies has confirmed a 20-date UK tour for autumn 2025, bringing his latest stand-up show Son of a Carpenter to major cities including Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and London. He’ll headline the O2 Apollo in Manchester in November.

The tour marks a homecoming of sorts for the comedian who was born in Australia but found his footing in the UK’s comedy scene.

The tour follows the success of High & Dry, Jefferies’ 2023 Netflix special tackling everything from marriage, the laziness of koala bears and male pattern baldness to why he no longer drinks. The new show, Son of a Carpenter, is expected to push boundaries further, with Jefferies promising his signature blend of hard truths and razor-sharp humour.

Best known for The Jim Jefferies Show and FX’s Legit, the Australian comic has forged a global following with his outspoken style. He’s also the host of FOX’s reality series The Snake, and will appear in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror-thriller Him, due September 2025.

Jefferies recently released a new Netflix special, Jim Jefferies: Town Limb Policy, worldwide.

When is Son of a Carpenter coming to Manchester’s O2 Apollo?

Jim Jefferies will bring Son of a Carpenter to Manchester’s O2 Apollo on Sunday 2 November 2025 as part of his UK tour. The tour also includes a show at Liverpool’s Empire Theatre.
