It started very early on in the show, in fact, the first words he spoke.
Walking out to a careless, lazy introduction, by who may very well have been just the guy behind the audio board, Jefferies took exception and called out the presenter. The jab was harmless, but set the stage for no punches to be pulled throughout his performance.
Everyone was fair game: the couple in the third row that got up and left disgusted in the early moments of the set, the 90-year-old man with his son sitting an arms length away from the stage, and of course, the five people in the back who dressed up as the plural of Jefferies' favourite word, each with a big, bold letter on their shirt.
Before he began his set, Jefferies made it seem as if he barely even knew where he was.
"Good to be in... uh... right, Ottawa."
His opening dialogue would have the average viewer make the assumption that Jefferies just didn't care; that it was simply his last show on a short stopover through several boring Canadian cities.
They'd be wrong, though. Because he cared more than anyone in that room could fathom.
After his opening remarks, Jefferies proceeded with an outstanding 15 minute routine on Tim Hortons and flying through the Maritimes.
Canadian comics don't even do that much material on Tim Hortons, let alone an Australian who lives in Hollywood.
It was a breath of fresh air seeing one of the world's best comedians set aside a large chunk of his set for a routine he could only use in Canada. Though he has been doing a North American tour since May - with a quick detour to South Africa for a couple days - only 28 percent of his shows have been in Canada, with a further 15 percent being in Eastern Canada, the only place that specific bit would be relevant.
For a man who is ramping up to film his newest Netflix special - which will be shot in the United States, as he mentioned halfway through his generous two-hour long set - no one would have been offended if he had stuck to the script, performing strictly his game plan for the big show. But instead, Jefferies chose to deliver something that would speak to the audience as if he were one of them.
After that, it was business as usual.
His Bill Cosby act was spot on, his annihilation of the anti-vaccination group was a tight-knit piece with punch, and as always, the rants on religion were exciting, but more passionate than ever and have never been accompanied by so much bite.
After recording a handful of knockout specials, it's intriguing to see how much success the 38-year-old has had without really changing the subjects of his rhetoric. But even though the bare essence of his performance have somewhat stayed the same course, the material is always original. Jefferies may choose the same topic over and over again, but he'll never make the same argument.
There's also something to say about the style of his comedy.
While other comedians tend to pick a theme and attack it head on, Jefferies uses his own life to combat the things he - for lack of a better word - preaches about. He isn't afraid to open up about his family, childhood, embarrassing experiences or just everyday happenings.
For someone who is seen as one who attacks and mocks many people and aspects of society, Jefferies makes himself extremely vulnerable when poking at his own downfalls and weaknesses.
He's a story teller. And maybe the finest around.
