Jim Jefferies: Son of a Carpenter – Australia 2026
Australia’s global comedy heavyweight, Jim Jefferies will bring his internationally acclaimed Son of a Carpenter tour home in 2026 for a huge run of dates across the country, hitting arenas and theatres this July and August.
After selling out theatres and arenas across North America and Europe, the infamously provocative comedian will return to home soil to perform his largest ever run of Aussie shows, delivering his razor-sharp, fearless comedy to audiences nationwide. Son of a Carpenter has already cemented itself as one of his most successful tours to date, with critics and fans praising the show’s no-holds-barred storytelling, biting social commentary and brutally honest reflections on life, family and the absurdity of the modern world.
Now, Australian fans will finally get to experience their hometown hero live in action.
Excited to perform everywhere from intimate theatre settings to major arenas, Jefferies says,
“Coming back to Australia with this tour feels massive. I’ve been yelling at Americans and Europeans for the last 2 years now, so it’s only fair I come home and yell at you lot too. No matter how far I travel, I’m still just an Aussie bloke who somehow turned my stories into a career. I’m looking forward to bringing this show back where it all started – and keen to perform in some places I’ve never been before!”
A household name both at home and abroad, Jefferies has built a career on fearless, boundary-pushing comedy that pulls no punches. From his globally streamed stand-up specials to his acclaimed television work, he has established himself as one of the most recognisable and respected comedians of his generation.
With Son of a Carpenter, Jefferies is at his unapologetic best – sharper, bolder and funnier than ever, proving once again why he remains one of the most in-demand comedians on the planet. Aussie audiences can expect a night of massive laughs, shocking truths and the kind of outrageous honesty that has become his trademark.
