Albany to be entertained by Jimmy Rees’ Let’s Get Regional Tour

Beloved comedian Jimmy Rees is heading to Albany for one night only on March 22 as part of his Let’s Get Regional Tour. The comedian rose to fame as Jimmy Giggle in the ABC children’s show Giggle and Hoot and entertained Australia throughout the pandemic with his TikTok videos impersonating different personas from Australian cities. It will be the comedian’s first time in Albany, which is the seventh location in his tour of 17 regional towns with a show made just for regional Australians. “When I first sort of run my own one-man comedy show a couple of years ago I just really wanted to get out and about to as many places as we could, but just logistically it was a bit difficult as I’ve got a young family as well,” he said. “This time, we thought we would give the regional centres like a bit more of its own thing.” His favourite part of the show, so far, is a bit that pokes “a little fun” at the town he is visiting. “There’s also another section of the show where I ask suggestions from the audience on what to talk about, and some of them get pretty wild,” he said. “The more original you get, the more interesting the occupations of whatever I’m asking for come back at me.” Let’s Get Regional will hit Albany Entertainment Centre on March 22 for two shows.
