Continue ReadingIn the last ten years Jim Jefferies has been making a slow shift from booze-fueled raunch to slightly-more-sober social commentary. The shift became undeniable in Jefferies’ 2014 special Bare, which featured his 15-minute bit on gun control, a bit that continues to pop back into circulation every time a mass shooting occurs. Next came Freedumb, […]
