Jim Jefferies: Alcoholocaust

Jim Jefferies: Alcoholocaust (2010) is available to watch online on iFILM — a 75-minute stand-up set filmed at Just For Laughs, directed by Tim Kirkby. The Australian comic walks onstage already aiming at things most comedians step around.

The title is his own coinage: an "alcoholocaust" is what a serious drinking session leaves behind — surfaces sticky with empties. The material covers his own misadventures, a story about his friend's severely disabled brother that lands somewhere between dark and oddly tender, and his long-running issues with religion and general human stupidity. Jefferies doesn't cushion any of it. If you want stand-up that doesn't flatter its audience, stream Alcoholocaust on iFILM.
