American-based Aussie comedian favourite Jim Jefferies brings his internationally acclaimed Son of a Carpenter tour home in 2026.
Locking in 18 dates across arenas and theatres this July and August, fans can expect Jefferies no-holds-barred style of comedy to have them rolling in the aisles with laughter as he reflects on life, family and the world around us.
“Coming back to Australia with this tour feels massive,” says Jefferies. “I’ve been yelling at Americans and Europeans for the last two 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!”
Kicking off in Sydney with two shows at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday 4 and Monday 6 July, Jefferies takes his Son of a Carpenter tour through the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Bendigo, Geelong, Wollongong, Canberra, Western Sydney, Newcastle, Perth, Darwin, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Rockhampton, wrapping things up in Cairns on Saturday 8 August at CPAC Theatre.
Presale tickets go on sale on Friday 20 February at 11am AEDT. Fans can register for tickets here and also go in the running win tickets to Jim Jefferies and the Rugby League Las Vegas Event Week.
General on-sale takes place on Monday 23 February at 11:00am AEDT via jimjefferies.com or teglive.com.au.

Son of a Carpenter is more proof as to why Jefferies is one of the best comedians out there, and a show fans of stand-up don’t want to miss.
