Before graduating college at the University of Minnesota, Jim combined his theatrical, comedic, musical, and production skills to create a unique Minneapolis-based daily television show which he produced and co-hosted for nearly two years. This led to the development of his one-man comedy show which he has performed at approximately 2,000 colleges and universities nationwide.
After a smashing three year run at the Glen Campbell Goodtime Show in Branson, Missouri, Jim went on to be the featured comedian for the Osmond Family Theater and eventually his very own venue, the Hamner Barber Theater, with illusionists The Hamners. In 2013, the artists celebrated their 10th and final season of their popular magical variety show.
