James Eoin Stephen Paul McKeown (born 24 January 1966), better known as Jimeoin (/dʒɪˈmoʊɪn/), is a Northern Irish-Australian comedian and actor.
Jimeoin rose to prominence in the early 1990s in Australia, where he had his own TV show and where he still resides. He came to public attention in the UK between 2005 and 2008 while performing a tour of Australia's outback and major cities, which was filmed for the BBC Northern Ireland documentary Jimeoin Down Under.[1] He has also gained international recognition and is a frequent performer at comedy festivals, including the Edinburgh Fringe, where he made his debut in 1993 and where he has since appeared every year.[1]
