Jimmy McGhie on stage

In 2024 you can catch Jimmy performing at all the best comedy clubs, theatres and arts centres  up and down the UK and abroad, fresh off the back of supporting John Bishop and Jason Manford on tour as well as performing in the Maldives at the world famous Anantara Resort and a sold out tour of Dubai.

He will be supporting Stephen Bailey at his sold out Bloomsbury Theatre show this spring before going on to perform in Oslo and all over Scandinavia.

He is hosting some of the biggest corporate events and awards shows the industry including the HFM European Financial Services Awards at the Natural History Museum,  An Audience with Jimmy Anderson and the ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic. You might also catch him as the studio warm up for the Graham Norton Show, Loose Women, Loose Men and The Claudia Winkleman Show.

Jimmy also performed in Los Angeles the prestigious ‘Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach and in Canada for the first time appearing at the renowned Yuk Yuks comedy chain. He popped up at various shows in Norway, Belgium and Holland.

An International arts festival favourite Jimmy performed his critically acclaimed 9th solo show ‘BA (Hons)’ to sell out crowds at the 2020 Adelaide Fringe. He was due to continue on the Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra Comedy Festivals, until disaster struck and he was unceremoniously booted back home for a year long lockdown party on the sofa.

Back in 2019 , BA (Hons) played to full rooms and critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe. The show was selected as one of the Scotsman newspaper critic’s ‘best shows to see in Edinburgh’- view Kate Copstick’s review here and The Pick of Edinburgh review here. Jimmy also hosted the prestigious ‘Pick of the Fringe 2019’ at the Sheraton Hotel for the third year in a row.

Jimmy was an Assistant Producer for the BBC’s Science and History Dept, having spent seven years working in factual television before he ran off to join the stand up comedy circus professionally in 2009. Since then he has performed stand up all over the world and appeared on numerous television and radio programmes including the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, Comedy Central, ABC Australia, THREE New Zealand, Absolute Radio and many more.

He is “a brilliant talent” (The Scotsman) and with “an easy charm and appealing relaxed manner” (Chortle), he has performed 10 solo shows at festivals around the world including the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Sydney Comedy Festival, Perth Comedy Festival and New Zealand International Comedy festival.

He is now a top circuit act in the UK, as well as a highly sought after corporate awards host and TV warm up artist. He regularly provides the studio warm up for BBC1’s Graham Norton Show, ITV’s Loose Women and Ch4’s Deal or No Deal.

“Exquisitely done, with a compelling, simmering fury… impressive”

BA (Hons) Edinburgh 2019

He's travelled the world from festival to festival taking in the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Canberra, Perth and Sydney Comedy Festivals as well as the New Zealand Comedy festival. Phew. That’s a lot of festivals.No wonder he hasn’t settled down.

"A comic who is supremely good at what he does, even when he is not doing very much”

The Scotsman

NEED(Y) Edinburgh 2018

An analogue man in a digital world, marooned as a bachelor amongst a sea of marriages and kids, Jimmy continues to steer clear of anything too serious in life and not step on any millennial language land mines.

"This is all tightly-packed, twinkly, high-octane funny. I have no idea why this man is not all over Live at the Apollo like a rash."

★★★★ The Scotsman

TRIBAL GATHERING Edinburgh 2017

Edinburgh 2017 He has finally checked in his ego and will be appearing as part of the socialist utopia of the Free Festival. A proper pro for no dough!

‘McGhie reminds you that an hour of pure stand-up comedy can be a great thing’

★★★★ Scotsman

APOLOGIA Edinburgh 2016

This is Jimmy's sixth solo hour, so according to best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, that means he's only 9,994 hours away from being brilliant. Not that it's Jimmy's fault it's taking so long.

★★★★ Chortle.co.uk

WINGED GODDESS OF VICTORY Edinburgh 2015

Confronting masculinity, mortality, the sins of the father and his complete inability to resist a good salesman. Along the way he encounters some vicious anti-corporate satirists, and explains how various early childhood humiliations made him what he is today: a clown.

★★★★ Scotsman

DELUSIONS OF CANDOUR Edinburgh 2013

Painfully brilliant, pathologically charming and frequently deluded Jimmy McGhie slinks back to Edinburgh after bunking last year. After performing to great acclaim all over the world, from Mumbai to Melbourne, Jimmy returns with more soulful and searingly honest stand-up.

★★★★ Chortle.co.uk

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Edinburgh 2011

“Grown-up, insightful comedy that isn’t dependent on shock value and still had me thinking about issues he’d raised hours after the show. Excellent.”

★★★★ Chortle

ALL-POWERFUL WARRIOR Edinburgh 2010

“Last year I said he had “one to watch” stamped on his forehead; well, this year he has “see him now before you have to queue around the O2″ stamped on his forehead. There are few comics I can think of who have the sheer star quality of Jimmy McGhie. He is the perfect little comedy package.”

★★★★ Scotsman

NORTHERN MEETING Edinburgh 2009

“Hilarious, self deprecating and lovable… A fantastic storyteller.”

★★★★★ Three Weeks

“He is wonderful with audience interaction, smartly self-effacing and I cannot think of any possible reason for his not being a huge star.”
The Scotsman
