Jimmy’s gig in Riga, Latvia was on June 12th 2026 (see here).
On the 5th the venue (Kipsala Exhibition Centre) was already setting up for the show and posted a video about it on Instagram, here.
I think this demonstrates another of the challenges, for tour crew, with venues that are different sizes and that also may not host comedy gigs on a regular basis.
The Centre’s website (here) describes it as the “largest specialist exhibition complex in the Baltic states”.
It goes on to say that the “halls are suitable to host international congresses, forums and seminars for thousands of delegates” – but only mentions musical productions in the 5th paragraph (and comedy not at all).
Just another bit of background info on the technical side of delivering a comedy show. As I’ve mentioned before – things are a lot more complicated than they were 28 years ago, when Jimmy was using the tube and shoe leather to dash between venues, to do “20 minutes”.
