In 2011 alone, he performed at festivals around the World, including the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Bridgetown, SF Sketchfest, Boston International, and Laughing Skull.
His ability to create material on the spot led him to become a regular performer on Set List, an internationally-acclaimed live improvised stand-up show that airs overseas on SkyAtlantic HD. He tells jokes that he writes. He tells them real funny-like. He once described himself as "one of the best comedians his parents ever gave birth to."
Not only does he tour clubs and colleges nationwide, Jeff has also become a staple at nationally-renowned clubs such as the Hollywood Improv, the Ice House and the Comedy Store.
He is also a quick-witted improviser - known as Agent Eyebrows in Campus Activities “College Act of the Year” Mission IMPROVable and member of their house-team Child Dish. Jeff is also a founding member of Groundlings-bred Hot Ice! Sketch Comedy and a primary writer-performer in the sketch pilot Recycled Babies.
His debut comedy-album, Bring Me To Your Mother was released in September 2011 and sold more copies than zero.

Only Jeff can say what's true.
