Jim Jefferies: Bare (2014)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Shannon Hartman
Starring: Jim Jefferies
Running time: 75 minutes



This 2014 Netflix original is a stand-up comedy special with Australian-born comic Jim Jefferies, who performs on stage in front of a Boston crowd. Over the course of 75 minutes, he discusses such topics as women’s rights, sex, kids, family and gun control. The material is raunchy; it would likely offend many people. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Notwithstanding his more balanced and careful approach to the controversial subject of gun control, Jefferies’ humor is unapologetic. I really dug his delivery, where lines come out slowly and often take a sharp turn at the end.

This one is not for the sensitive ears, but the fans of blue comedy will enjoy themselves. I am now looking for an April 18 t-shirt to be part of the brotherhood; it’s so close to my own birthday too.
