His HBO special I Swear to God made him known in the United States in 2009. He went on to create and star in the FX sitcom Legit and to host The Jim Jefferies Show on Comedy Central.
He filmed his Netflix special This Is Me Now at the same theatre in January 2018. High & Dry, in 2023, was his fifth special for Netflix.
