Jim Jefferies is as open and honest as he is foul-mouthed and crass. In his 2014 Netflix special BARE, Jefferies discusses a wide-range of topics, such as religion, fatherhood, and gun control. While already an established international comedian, Jefferies first Netflix special certainly launched his star in North America.

Bare is strong from start to finish, but the stand out of this comedy special is the 15 minutess that Jefferies spends talking about The Second Amendment of The US Constitution, given citizens the right to bear arms. This routine caught the attention of the American public; since putting them up in 2015, Part 1 and Part 2 of Jefferies Gun Control routine have received a combined total of roughly 20 million views on YouTube.

Jefferies has made a niche for himself in the US as the crude, foreign performer who points out absurdity in American life. The Australian comedian is certainly an acquired taste; his loud and offensive style is not everyone's cup of tea. Jefferies is also articulate, clever, and concise though, which makes him a challenging individual to disagree with, even when he is voicing his opinion in as provocative a style as possible.

Jim Jefferies first Netflix special is thoughtful, funny, and made him a household name in North America.
