About
Jimmy Kuratz is a comedian for hire in Launceston, TAS.
A former doctor who became a stay at home dad and then a stand up, Jimmy Kuratz works out of Launceston and performs on two continents. The solo show is called Girl Dad: Outnumbered, built on raising daughters, keeping a marriage laughing, and the honest absurdity of being the only bloke in the house. Two years of posting jokes online has pulled over 100 million views across TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, and a following in the hundreds of thousands. He's a storyteller first, and he'll go at taboo subjects with dark humour before landing somewhere tender. Not a politically correct comic by default. But when a corporate or mining crowd needs it kept proper, he can do that too. Short sets or long ones. Lighting and sound can travel with him.
Watch
The show
The solo show is called Girl Dad: Outnumbered, and it's about being the only bloke in a house full of women. Jimmy was a doctor, then a stay at home dad, and now he tells stories about school runs, daughter drama, thermostat wars and the endless questions. He's a storyteller before he's a gag merchant. The material goes at taboo subjects with dark humour and real honesty, then lands somewhere unexpectedly tender. It's blunt, and it comes from affection rather than spite. He works two continents and has a large online following built off the same material.
On the day
Jimmy can travel with his own lighting and sound, so a venue without a rig isn't a problem. Freight has to be arranged for that, which is worth raising early. If your room already has a PA and a usable light on stage, he can simply work with what's there.
Performance options
For corporate and mining events, the booking is shaped by where you are. Shows around Tasmania are the simple ones, since Launceston is home. Sydney and Melbourne are a single flight away, and the rest of Australia is reachable too, with flights, ground transport and a bed arranged as part of the booking.
