Jimmy, 52, is known for his no-nonsense and straight-talking attitude on the stand-up circuit.
This was most certainly the case when he appeared on BBC One to chat about his global Laughs Funny live tour.
He's set to head on the road and perform over 100 shows in the UK, Europe and even the USA throughout 2025.
He admitted: "I'm always on tour, yeah, constantly, constantly playing the arenas, just to sort of big up my ego at the end of the year.

Alex, and Vernon, then quizzed the star on his infamous handling of hecklers at his highly-publicised gigs.
The husband of Strictly star Tess Daly stated: "I'm loving the fact that your your heckles have gone viral on your social media, you put out the heckles, and you do put out the interaction with the audience."
The comic couldn't help but take a sarcastic jab at his fellow funnyman whilst sitting alongside the likes of actor Ben Stiller and Severance stars Adam Scott and Dichen Lachman.
He responded: "I like it when people join in. I mean, you know, sometimes, you know, it gets, it gets out of hand and we have to kick people out of the show.

Jimmy added: "I don't care. We've got great security, I'm all mouth."
Peter was previously engulfed in controversy after he kicked a heckler out of his show.
This comes after it was reported that he kicked a drunk heckler out of his rowdy Birmingham stand-up gig.
He took a leaf out of Peter's book and enforced a zero tolerance policy for disruptive fans at his Symphony Hall show last week.

The Mail reports Jimmy intervened when a number of audience members threatened to leave after growing fed-up with a noisy ticketholder during the first 30 minutes of the performance.
A source told the publication: "Four people got up to leave, and one of them had to be held back from hitting the heckler.

"Then Jimmy intervened, he told the four fans to sit down and said to the heckler, 'You're blind drunk, you're probably on cocaine, so I'll give you three choices.
"You can either get up and leave, go away and come back and see me again, or you can sit there, refuse to go, and I'll get security."
