Clever, provocative, and painfully funny is how Jimmy Dore is described by critics. Armed with a microphone, the accessible vernacular of Chicago's south side, and an elevated instinct for the truth, Jimmy effortlessly moves through topics such as addiction, cops, politics and the moral conundrum of the death penalty.
Dore lives where most comedians dare not even tread. Pushing the bounds of comedy by expertly dealing with taboo words and subjects, holding up a mirror to society's foibles and you can't help but laugh at the reflection. His unmerciful questioning of traditions, family values and the religious powers-that-be forces his audience not to just laugh but think. He is not afraid to offend or confront and he does it all with gobs of passion, charm and hilarity.
Jimmy has logged numerous appearances on cable TV and made his network television debut in 1997 on NBC's Friday Night Videos. He quickly became a show favorite and had five return performances. Jimmy's star continues to rise, most recently adding to his list of credits, a winning performance on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn on CBS, which was followed with a stand-out spot on the new hip comedy show on NBC , "Late Friday." Jimmy's CD "It's Not Brain Surgery" is now available here ar Comedyhome.
