Jimeoin spent the next 20 years as a professional comic in Australia, working the clubs and winning over Aussies on their own patch - without ever trading on his background in Northern Ireland. Sometimes you do press interviews for magazines and they go, can we get you holding a Guinness, or eating a potato? Then they'll put shamrocks on it. If they're going to do that you're better off just avoiding it. It was Australian people, so why try and sell it to them when I've already sold it to them?
Irish people would come along because they'd heard my accent but I didn't have to sell it as far as looking for an audience is concerned because I'd already found one with Australian people - 'we understand you and we get your jokes'.
That was enough. Jimeoin tends to studiously avoid talking about politics and in particular the Troubles, but that hasn't stopped him playing on paramilitary graffiti on his latest tour poster, which depicts him covering up some UVF graffiti with the word LOVELY. I thought calling the show Lovely was a way of writing over the ugly side of things. And yet you don't address politics or the Troubles in your show. Why not? It's not really on my radar, and that's really what we're about.
We're just going to ignore that and get on with our lives. Where I grew up, that's how we went about things. If anybody brought up political conversations I'd walk away. Even now, if anyone starts a political conversation in a bar, about anything, I'll walk off. I'll talk about anything else but I'll not talk about that. The Craic Writer.
