About

New York-based Australian actor/writer/comedian Jim Dailakis has been touring
the USA and the world for the last 20 years headlining in theaters, major comedy clubs,
including Caroline’s, Standup New York, Broadway Comedy Club and
Dangerfield’s all in New York City. He's performed at The Borgata in Atlantic City,
in 44 of the United States, across Canada on the IG Corporate 53 City Tour and
IG Ontario Tour in sold-out 2000+ seat theaters, as well as performances in
Australia, Scotland, Cayman Islands, Singapore, and Malaysia. He’s also
performed at the Montréal, Halifax, Palandri and Edinburgh Comedy Festivals.
He has shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, opened for Larry the Cable Guy,
Kevin Nealon, Caroline Rhea, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin and Weird Al
Yankovic. He's performed alongside Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves
Raymond at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Since his arrival in the US, Jim has
appeared in TV series and international commercials.

He’s played principal roles in award-winning movies such as Mona, Broadway's
Finest, Uncle Melvin's Apartment and This Is Reality. In the Emmy Award
winning TV series, A Crime to Remember, he played a lead detective in one
episode and a witness in another, a principal role in an episode of The Hunt with
John Walsh and just completed playing a principal role in a film called 10-42.
Jim is working on a couple of feature films he’s written as vehicles for himself
including All My Friends Are Getting Married which has a sales agent already in
place based on the strength of the script and is currently in negotiations with a
successful A-list movie producer.

Jim performed his one-man show Skitso in New York City and at the Hollywood
Fringe Festival. In it, he plays over 35 original characters and celebrities. He
received rave reviews and the show has attracted the attention of Broadway
producers Robert Blume and Arnold Engelman.

On stage, Jim talks about relationships, being an Aussie in America, men,
women, love and mimics movie stars with an uncanny ability to be able to
look like them too. He’s animated, witty, charming, likable and never offensive
and his performances have earned him standing ovations and adoration from
audiences all over the world.

Additional Booking Notes

Always best to have the audience as close as possible to the stage or to the comedian where possible. When the room is dimly lit and the stage is brightly lit, it always makes for a much better show. Wired mics are expensive, but in many cases, they cut out. A wired mic is always preferable where possible. Because my act is very physical, a microphone stand is a must. Finally, it's best for a comedian to go on before or after dinner and dessert. Never during.
