About Jim

I’m an Australian actor/writer/comedian who’s been touring the USA and the world for the last 15 years headlining in major comedy clubs including Caroline’s, Standup New York, Broadway and The Laugh Factory. I’ve performed at The Borgata in Atlantic City and in 45 of the United States including the IG Corporate 53 City Tour across Canada in sold-out 2000+ seat theaters.

I also headline and perform for English-speaking Greek communities in Canada the US and soon, Australia.

I’ve been lucky enough to share stages with Jerry Seinfeld, Larry the Cable Guy, Kevin Nealon, Caroline Rhea, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Weird Al Yankovic and alongside Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Since my arrival in the US, I’ve appeared in TV commercials.

I’ve had principal and supporting roles in the award winning movies Mona, Broadway's Finest, Uncle Melvin's Apartment, This Is Reality and in the TV series, A Crime to Remember.

I’m extremely proactive and passionate about several feature films I’ve written as vehicles for myself including All My Friends Are Getting Married which has a sale agent already in place based on the strength of the script and its commercial box office potential. They’ll even pay for marketing! All I need is the financing. That’s easy, right? :P

I’ve recently performed my one-man show in New York City called, SKITSO at the 72nd St., Triad Theater where I play over 35 original characters and celebrities. Charles Messina is the director. The project has attracted the attention of Broadway producer Robert Blume. It’s also going to be part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival at the Underground Theater in June.

On stage, I talk about relationships, being an Aussie in America and I mimic movie stars contorting my face so that I can look like them too. Nothing gives me greater joy than entertaining people and making them laugh!
