Celebrity Gardener - Jimeoin

People & Places

Last time Don and the Burke's Backyard team visited comedian Jimeoin, his 'garden' was a unit balcony. Jimeoin, his wife and two children now live in a 1920s Edwardian-style house. He showed Don around his new garden, which features camellias, a weeping willow and a silk-tassel bush (Garrya elliptica).

Jimeoin was born in Ireland and came to Australia in 1988. His career as a comedian began when he was 24 years of age. He admits he knew very little about stand up comedy, but says his sense of humour is influenced by the UK Punk scene in the 1980s.

In the mid 1990s he hosted 'Jimeoin', a successful comedy show on the 7 Network, which ran for three seasons. In 1999 he wrote and starred in his own feature film 'The Craic' (Village Roadshow), which is amongst the most successful Australian films ever made. Jimeoin has three CDs - 'Goin Off', 'The Craic' and 'Forklift Truck'. He has just completed a feature film, 'The Extra', which is due for release at Easter, 2005.
