At some point during Montreal’s Just For Laughs (JFL) 2022 festival (July 13-31) Jimmy joined Pete Holmes and Randy / Jason Sklar.

There’s a ComedyPRO logo behind them and this was 27-30^th, which probably narrows it down a bit. See JFL 2022 post – here.

As Jimmy walks on his phone is ringing and playing Guns ‘n’ Roses, Welcome to the Jungle.
