One of the issues that this blog is designed to address is how certain things “vanish” from the internet, unless you know where to look (and unless you know that they happened). As social media habits change many comedy fans hang out on TikTok, meaning that not everyone subscribes to accounts that announce tours and post images.

One of these such events is a Canada only tour that Jimmy did (with his old friend of 20+ years, Jim Jefferies): The Charm Offensive Tour.

The support act was Amos Gill and Jim / Jimmy took it in turns as to who went on last.

Jim J was already on tour with his Give ‘Em What They Want Tour and Jimmy was touring Laughs Funny.

Sidenote: Way back in 2003-4 Jimmy had a tour called Charm Offensive (he clearly liked the name). The full list of Jimmy’s tours and links to posts can be seen here.

Links below lead to X or Instagram posts with pictures of the Arena gigs. I’m not saying Mr Jefferies is lazy but he mostly reposted the ones from Jimmy’s account.
