Jeff Allen  June 14-19  More than anything, Jeff Allen likes to make people laugh and, rare among comedians, he knows a joke doesn’t have to be dirty to be funny. Just who is Jeff Allen… and how on earth did a nut-job atheist from Chicago’s South Side, who’s crawled across the grittiest comedy club floors in American, end up as: the featured performer at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC; end up working with the world’s top Gospel quartet; secure a development deal with Castle Rock Television to produce a sitcom based on Jeff’s ultra-clean family friendly standup comedy… HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE? Excellent question! Jeff’s been doing comedy for 20 years and his work has been seen on every cable comedy show in the U.S., including Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” and VH1’s “Stand Spotlight.” His one hour special, “Happy Wife, Happy Life” aired on the Odyssey Channel and Family Net. He’s a regular on the Grand Ole Opry and was a featured comedian at the 1998 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and the Montreal Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival 2000, the biggest laugh riot on the planet. Jeff is one of the few comedians who can “kill ‘em” at a casino in Vegas and then bring down the house at the Baptist Youth Missionary Board… doing the exact same act. He says, “Funny is funny. What makes people laugh works anywhere. I don’t change a word.” The word may not change but what has changed radically is the man who delivers them. Feeding each other in a frenzy of alcohol and drugs, his life any early career were a 10 year hell-for-leather roller coaster ride straight into the ditch. Working America’s top comedy clubs 46 weeks a year, blowing every paycheck, sleeping on floors, stealing neighbor’s pop bottles for money, Jeff spiraled down in a haze of cocaine and booze. Not exactly resume building material. Today, Jeff Allen is on top of the world. At the peak of his comedic powers, he works the best rooms in the country, is developing a sitcom with the most talented people in Los Angeles, and has a family he adores. Having survived inner demons that would put most of us in our graves, Jeff is that rare exception in the world of creative talent – a happy guy. And that joy – drawn from the crazy pain of everyday living – is precisely what
HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE is all about. |
