Jim to be PC or not PC? Silly question!

JIM Davidson is “On The Road Again” — and he’s sure to ruffle a few feathers with his spin on the politicall­y correct world we live in.

Very much the people’s favourite comedian, his new show is billed as “outrageous and truthful as ever” — and you just know he’s going to deliver.

Jim was born in Blackheath, London, and attended St Austen’s School in Charlton. He had his first taste of entertaini­ng aged 12 when he was chosen to appear in Ralph Reader’s “Gang Show” at the Golders Green Hippodrome.

A few years later, he found his way back into the limelight when he went along to a pub in Woolwich where the regular stand-up comedian hadn’t turned up. Pushed into it by friends, he ended up on stage telling gags — and the audience laughed. From then on, he took every opportunit­y to hone his craft in pubs and clubs across London and it wasn’t long before he turned profession­al.

An appearance on TV’s “New Faces” in 1976 proved to be the turning point for Jim. It was followed by extensive appearance­s on TV, and the highlights of his career have included five visits to the Falkland Islands, and countless engagement­s throughout the world entertaini­ng British service personnel.

He regularly tours the UK with his adult stand-up shows and he recently completed a successful debut tour of Australia.
