Comedian Jim Jefferies knows how to Give 'Em What They Want.

He added a second show on August 10 at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle to meet demand, and now that has sold out he is adding a third: at 7pm on Thursday, August 13.

Tickets to the third show will go on sale at 11am on Monday, June 3.

The Australian's ability to tackle controversial topics with intelligence and humour has earned him a huge global following as well as critical acclaim.

Who can forget his BARE stand-up series on Netflix in 2014 when he talked about gun ownership - in America - and made audiences laugh, boo ... and perhaps even think?

The boundary-pushing TV host, podcaster and writer is considered one of the most popular, provocative and respected comedians of our generation. He has performed at festivals in Edinburgh, Melbourne, Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury, and was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival in 2019.

In 2017 he launched, and hosted, a late-night satirical program for Comedy Central, The Jim Jefferies Show, which ran for three years.

He currently hosts popular game show The 1% Club and podcast I Don't Know About That.

Jefferies has nine Netflix comedy specials to his name including 2017's Freedumb, 2018's brutally hilarious This Is Me Now and 2020's Intolerant.

Jim Jefferies is bringing his Give 'Em What They Want tour to Civic Theatre, Newcastle, on Saturday, August 10 (7pm and 10pm), and Thursday, August 13 (7pm). Tickets to the August 13 show are on sale at 11am on Monday, June 3, at frontiertouring.com/jimjefferies. Frontier Members can get early access to tickets via the Members' presale on May 31 at 11am.
