Sometimes , like a breath of fresh air along comes a person who can brings us a new way of looking at life . One of these people is Irish comedian Jimeoin . His humour and songs provides a remedy to the feeling down syndrome . Some find themselves trapped in today's issues and can't see outside that locked door but Jimeoin has found a key to unlock the happy giggle most of us keep buried under our hat . His Irish wit is quick and his Irish accent thick . His songs are slick and his click is part of what makes him tick .
The music and Craic just flows out of Jimeoin . Its just a natural part of him . In Ireland the word Craic is having a good time and this is usually centered around music and dance and being out and about .
Some people I've met who have seen Jimeoin live on stage have said to me , You wouldn't want to mess with him . He's a hard man , and he really can look after himself .
Then again there are others who say , I cannot understand what he's talking about , but I still love the way he talks .
Jimeoin commands a large number of devoted fans when he performs in clubs all around Australia .
He has buckled them up in two with laughter , split their sides with stitches , and brought tears to the eyes of his hardest critics .
His first two Cds in Australia , " Craic" and "Goin' Off " gave us a better picture of this talented man .
Not only is there live stand up comedy but there are some excellent original songs performed by Jimeoin . On the album Going Off Jimeons version of Danny Boy tells about how he used to be a boy but now he has grown up into a man and so the Danny Man number is alive with a rap style of performance that works well with most audiences . His version of Lou Reeds Take A Walk On The Wide Side is fantastic . He changes the odd word here and there but the feel of the song is untouched . On the other album entitled The Craic one of my favourite songs is entitled "Never meant to stay ." The lyrics tell a story about someone who has overstayed his visa here in Australia .
That theme has been further developed in Jimeoins latest venture directing his own movie called "The Craic" .
Jimeoin plays a character by the name of Fergus who loves life . The movie begins in Belfast , before making its way to Sydney .
There is some great footage of Australia , and reflects the way we can share the slice of life within our Australian lifestyle . " The Craic" Its a classic gem of the times we live in .
Jimeoin - hes a wee Cracker .
