	The Extra movie review, In Film Australia
		His popular appreciation as a cheeky buoyant foreigner has allowed Jimeoin to dabble in multiple mediums and techniques -- film, television, stand-up; slapstick, sight, observational -- the crux being that his humour is universal while his grip on Australian culture is geared from the outside in.
		Jimeoin's next film The Extra, about an aspiring actor continually downcast into scenery filling roles as a movie extra, is an enjoyable Australian comedy that's fun and funny.
		Consequently, and also as a result of his sunny and smiling demeanour, Jimeoin is a show biz performer without a trace of pretension or vanity.

		Jimeoin's show, on the other hand, had no message and he made this point quite clear at the start.
		Similar to Danny, his style is observational but Jimeoin reflects more on people's physical reactions to everyday situations, the daily frustrations we have to face and he conveys all of this with minimal movement, relying mostly on his facial features.
		But, spending an evening listening to Jimeoin is like being in the pub with a really good friend, who has just got back from a holiday and is regaling you with hilarious stories of his adventures.

	TPN :: The Edinburgh Fringe Show » Blog Archive » [Review] Jimeoin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Jimeoin is an Anglo-Irish export who is very popular in Australia with his stand up comedy, and has even made a movie (according to his website).
		Like any good comedian, Jimeoin hooks you in from the start and keeps you laughing through the whole show with his accurate observation’s from bee’s to bin day, via the morals of fairy tales and a little bit of musical comedy thrown in at the end.
		Always quick to know when his own material isn’t working, he does has a good interaction with the audience and is quick with the hecklers, and isn’t too offensive so you can take your mum or your granddad.

	Keeping it real - Film - www.theage.com.au
		Jimeoin, in the title role, stars as a hapless nobody who desperately wants to be a somebody - he's an extra on the blockbuster The Eternal Flame III.
		At the sound of Jimeoin's voice meekly pleading for the leading man to get off his hand, the obnoxious Mr Tamsin has a fit, screams at the director "there's an extra talking to me" and storms off the set.
		While the scene may be an exaggeration, young actor Katherine Slattery, who plays Jimeoin's love interest in the film, admits she has at times felt uneasy about the treatment meted out to extras.

		It was while filming the CRAIC in 1999, that Jimeoin had the germ of an idea for his latest film The Extra.
		Jimeoin fans are going to love it because he’s on screen a lot and he’s doing stuff that I don’t think he really does in his live act.
		The writer of the jibbering wreck, Jimeoin, was the first person to employ Shaun when he came to Melbourne to work as a writer.

	The Extra review (2005) Jimeoin - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Comedian Jimeoin (The Craic) co-writes and stars in this Australian film about the frustrations of being a movie extra, where you get to be in scenes with major stars but you can't look at them or talk to them you are nothing to them.
		In many cases these poor souls are just happy to have their face in the movies, but just as often, they find that the only shots of them have wound up on the cutting room floor.
		In The Extra, Jimeoin plays the extra (we never learn his name), just your average Joe that happens to be an extra in the most expensive film ever made, the third film in a wildly popular trilogy called Eternal Flame.

		This is the comedy of one who truly perceives human behaviour, breaks it up and puts it all together again in all its ridiculousness, to leave you with your eyes streaming.
		Listen closely - if laughter is the best medicine, Jimeoin is a course of steroids.
		it is in this ability to impart the ridiculousness of a situation that Jimeoin's genius lies.

		Jimeoin and a good many of his mates apparently were on the run from our Immigration Department in the early 80's.
		I've only glimpsed Jimeoin on TV a couple of times but I'd imagine that The Craic probably mirrors his on stage and perhaps his real life personality pretty closely.
		Jimeoin also appears to be pretty self effacing and disinclined to big note himself, which is a pretty good trick considering that he's an entertainer in his own first film.

	M/C Reviews
		In a world where film extras are a dime a dozen, where everyone is an actor and every actor wants to be a star, one man just cannot stand out.
		Jimeoin’s real life has inspired a good portion of this film and his many misfortunes as an extra, particularly while he was supporting himself dancing in a gay club.
		Don’t get me wrong, Jimeoin is a far cry from Orson Welles and is definitely no Shakespeare, but the use of the noir genre in The Extra provides a kind of play and daring that the Australian film industry is generally loathe to produce.

	The Stage / Edinburgh / Reviews / Jimeoin
		Jimeoin ploughs his own furrow in as much as his humour is aimed at a possibly slightly older, married and settled audience than many of the other young bucks on the comedy circuit.
		So there are stories about marital strife and arguments in the car - other comics never mention their cars - all told in the shiny new confines of Pod Deco, a converted cinema that looks like a real venue rather than a comedy club.
		A massive stage and expensive lighting give Jimeoin’s already polished performance an even slicker edge - again differentiating him from the regular comedy crowd.

		Jimeoin is The Extra, an ordinary Joe who wants to be a Movie Star, wants to be on the A-list, wants to make lots of money and wants to get all the girls.
		This romantic comedy is in part based on personal experience, coupled with his acute observations (friends aspiring to become actors dancing in gay nightclubs, in London, for an equity card) and the recognition of the desire within us all to be famous.
		Both the writer and star of his own film, Jimeoin handed the directorial reins to his trusted friend, Kevin Carlin, to deliver his universal story.
