Actual Reviews for "Happy Wife, Happy Life^®, Revisited"

By D. Justham on September 12, 2010 at 2:15 pm
I have heard a lot of his material on XM Comedy and saw him on Bananas. When we were having some couples get together I bought Happy Wife, Happy Life, Revisited to watch with them. I watched it once before the get together and then my kids wanted to see it so watched again. We loved it each time, but then by the time we got to the get-together I did not expect to laugh much as it was all so familiar. Was I wrong! I laughed harder than ever as the group was howling. Adding the laughing dynamics of others was magical in itself. My suggestion is get it and invite at least 3 or 4 couples over in the age group of 30 to 60 who have kids. Makes sure to spread the age group out and have at least one couple who are going through or have gone through menopause. Watch it and your sinuses and eyes will be killing you as you laugh harder than you thought possible. Watch the bonus testimony first so you see where Jeff is coming from, then watch the comedy portion. Well worth it!

This is a comedy act for the whole family. It is clean and very funny. As one would probably guess from the title, this routine focuses a lot on humorous interactions between husbands and wives. It also includes funny things regarding children. Although so many comedians these days cannot seem to make a joke without crudity, Jeff Allen is not one of them. He does a great job of keeping the audience entertained without resorting to the gutter.

As of this date, I have ordered 5 copies of, “Happy Wife, Happy Life Revisited.” I keep giving them away. Except for one and IT’S MINE! This is the funniest video I have ever seen. The original, “Happy Wife, Happy Life” was hilarious, and this one, “Revisited,” is even better. I can hardly wait until Jeff does a video that includes his skit, “The 3 Legged Dog.”

In a world of vulgar comedy this was a welcome addition to our video collection. The whole family could laugh without fear of what unwholesome joke might be waiting to lunge into our living room. One of the best ways to drop $20 bucks for an hour of entertainment.

This DVD is great Christian comedy! I had seen clips of this DVD on TV and decided to order it. We laughed so hard!

Have other DVDs with Jeff on them and even to hear the same joke again is funny as the first. Had a chance to see, or listen to him in person and would travel miles, even states to see him again. One of the greatest CLEAN comics around. Would rate him #1. Even buy second and third copies for other family.

This is so raw and real! It is about God’s grace. If you think your marriage has no hope to survive, then watch this together it may help save your marriage. Jeff’s testimony is awesome! This is a must watch!!!!! Oh and it is also very funny:)

Jeff Allen is one of the funniest comics I have seen since birth. His humor is about real life situations and his face and demeanor help make him who he is, A Star. Put a tight belt on and get ready to keep you insides from falling out.

Jeff Allen is a funny Christian comedian. This video captures a side of his life and comedy, along with his wife, on how they have endured sorrow through the night but God made joy come in the morning.

Jeff Allen is hilarious! But, what I think impressed me most was the powerful testimony at the end of his bit. Great for small group night! - Jay Gaumer

I first heard the comedy of Jeff Allen on late night talk radio. I am always impressed by comedians who are actually funny without using unnecessary profanity. Unfortunately, they are not the norm. Mr. & Mrs. Allen’s testimony regarding their survival as a married couple was really incredible. They are not preaching, they just tell their story of how their faith saved them. I recommend this DVD to anyone who is looking for some laughs and also a story of the strength of having faith in God.

The show was a GRAND SLAM. Jeff killed! I have emails from guests coming in just raving about the show and a ton of great comments on our Facebook page (also see these photos). Jeff and Scott are such a great guys. They made it such an easy evening for us. We want them back! On a side note this show was pivotal to our future in many ways. I had comp'ed 20 tickets to our some of our local Chamber of Commerce members. During intermission I spoke with some of them and their jaws were literally dropping. I believe now we will be loaded with new sponsorships. We (The Stand) owe that all to Jeff and his performance. Thank You!

Jeff was amazing. He spent so much time talking to us and was so personal and easy to converse with. The pastor’s dinner was super – we had about 20 or so people there. The show was very funny – everyone was laughing – his comedy is so real-to-life everyone can relate! We had 460+ in attendance. I have heard lots of positive comments about Jeff’s testimony also. There were some folks in the audience who didn’t know the Lord, so we are praying for movement in their hearts as a result of Jeff’s transparency. After the show, Jeff went into the lobby and signed autographs! Then he came into the cafe and met and greeted folks and stuck around for over an hour after the show... and was just as gracious and funny as when he first showed up!

I wanted you to know that over the weekend I heard tremendous reports from the event, which consisted of how very funny he was, and how the stories relate so much to what people go through. Most of what I heard was how he took time to share his testimony in a thoughtful, inspirational way without concern of "getting in, and getting out."  I'm sure he performs in front of larger crowds most of the time, yet the people I spoke with let me know how valued they felt that he didn't seem like he was in a hurry, but wanted to be sure to minister to them.  And then, he took time to spend with the people afterwards, evidently without having any goods on hand to sell. I highly recommend Jeff, and his character and integrity comes shining through. Thanks again for the opportunity to host him.

Without fail, Jeff's participation consistently dispels any distance that can exist in the banquet hall and it softens the hearts of everyone present. We are forever grateful for you and your continued belief in the ministry of Hope House. Our deepest appreciation.

     Sr. Vice President, Fidelity National Title Group


Over half of the 600 guests had never been to a Hope House event before. So, they were taking us in and checking us out and didn't seem to be engaging. But as has happened each time when Jeff gets up there, the laughter breaks down the wall. About five minutes in, you could just feel the shift. And the laughter just opened up their hearts and it was a different evening after that. He has done that for us every time. He has taken his gift and torn down walls allowing the heart of this ministry to penetrate the hearts of the people who have come. We are continually humbled and honored at how he has blessed Hope House these last ten years. And the beauty of his gift is one reason why we have never wanted to do one of these without him.

Friday night's Comedian Jeff Allen was a huge success, with a routine that perfectly suited the audience.

What a show at our St Francis Yacht Club Stag Cruise! It sure was fun to hear Jeff talk about life. I heard only compliments on his act. Please convey deep appreciation from all 450 guests there from all corners of the world. Jeff's material sings to everyone in attendance.
     Mike Ratiani

As always, Jeff was a delight and blessing to our community. Our worship center was full of people and FULL of laughter. His humor, talent and hilarious “expressions” are definitely amazing! He has such a wide range of topics, and can share humor in every area. I heard many people say their faces were sore from laughing, and I know mine was for hours after the show. He was awesome, and his testimony is such a glory to God! Jeff was great before and after the concert. He stayed for quite a while after the show talking with guests. Not every artist would do that.

Jeff was terrific. The people loved him. They laughed until they cried. A couple of them even had to stand up and catch their breath, they were laughing so hard. The entire night was beyond anything that I could have imagined when we enlisted Jeff to be our speaker for the evening. But the real surprise came at the end when Jeff began to share from his heart his personal pilgrimage. He was transparent in talking about his coming to Christ, his struggles and his commitment to Christ, and being a disciple. Of course, this kind of transparency only endeared himself more to our crowd. If there were ever such a thing as something more than a grand slam, Jeff did it. I could go on, but I think you understand how incredible he was.

Jeff was fantastic as usual. I had many, many comments and compliments from audience members. Many stated that Jeff was a breath of needed fresh air in these challenging times. His ability to connect with his audience is outstanding and his material never grows old. Please let him know that he was a smash hit in Central Illinois and that I look forward to booking him again in the future.

I just wanted to tell you how much your comedy means to me. I have been real sick for a while, and haven't been able to leave my bed. One day, I was flicking through the channels on TV and I stopped at the worship channel. I saw a preview of your comedy CD, and a picture of you looking confused. So I kept it on, and listened. You made me laugh so hard, that for the time being, I forgot how sick I was. I could even move my arms well. I felt good. I watched it again the next day. You make me feel well. Thanks so much.
     Betsy, Reidsville, NC

We had a great night with Jeff! We wanted to just minister to our area, and let people cast off some burdens, laugh, relax and hopefully find some hope and encouragement along the way. And I think we did all of that through Jeff's performance. We were hoping for 400 to 700 people, and had over 1400 show up. We had to create seating on the floor, the overflow area, and also had standing room only in the last row of the balcony. Jeff exceeded our expectations, availed himself to people after the show, and as usual, was a funny, funny man. Thank you!
     Phil Harbison, Community Reformed Church

Jeff was delightful. Judging from the discussions he engaged in with our event guests, he made quite an impression on them. Whether it was his humor, his testimony or a combination of the both, our guests approached him without hesitation to continue the "conversation" he had begun onstage. He was among the last to leave the venue as he answered questions and spoke with our guests. I hope he enjoyed his visit to The Woodlands and to StoneBridge Church

Last night was our St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation Donor Dinner, and Jeff was fantastic! People were laughing so hard they were in tears!!! Big hit!!! Please let Jeff know how much everyone enjoyed him and his clean humor!!

My husband, son and I were blessed to see you at the Elcoe last year and were hoping to see you again in Chesterton this year but was told the event is sold out. Your truth and comedy mean so much to us. You have both my hubby and sons imitating you constantly and using your key and catch phrases as part of their everyday banter. Unfortunately, sometimes questions I ask elicit a 'mannequin man' response, and I've been called 'Buttercup' a time or two. I was really touched and impressed by your testimony about yourself and your brother. All in all, my family has a great deal of respect for who God is shaping you to be. We wanted to share this hilarious yet so real experience with our pastor and his wife, as well as our worship leader and his wife, who do so much for our small church in Michigan City, IN. If there are any future IN dates added, can I please be on a list to be notified so we can get tickets right away? Your ministry is important to us and we want to further get it out there to other folks so that they too can experience what is true of most comedy: it's funny because it is so real. And you are proof positive that, as Christians, we don't have to be dull, boring stick-in-the-muds. All we have to do is look around at this vast creation and see what is good, light-hearted and funny, and then bring it to life to others. God bless you and Buttercup and your boys! Much love from the Bare family.

It was an amazing sight to see laughter return to our church. Sometimes as Christians we forget to enjoy life and forget to laugh.

Thanks Jeff, for making us laugh and laugh. Thank you for coming into our living room and binding our family together. Our children, years down the road, will look back and remember how you were a part of our family time... helping to build strong bonds of affection and memories. And in a unique way, delivering the truth in humor.
     Lenora, Columbus, MS

Jeff is a very special person. I found him to be wonderful, not only at his job but as a person of great character. He indeed left everyone attending the affair going home with a smile on their face. Would we be interested in him in the future? You bet. I personally found him very personal, enlightening and extremely grateful. His humor on stage was among the best I have seen. I would certainly look very favorably in retaining Jeff for all of our future events.
     Bill Schutter, Tournament Director (Fundraising event for the
     Village Church Ministries)

As to the show, it was a tremendous success!!! Jeff had the audience rolling as soon as the first words came out of his mouth! He gave us a show that exceeded our grandest expectations and we couldn't have been happier. Jeff is very gracious and we were very impressed by him in every way.

The evening went off beyond our expectations ending with a standing ovation for Jeff. On a scale of 1-10 - We give him an 11. (Can you do that?)
     Norman Lawrence, Pastor www.millersburgag.org

The event with Jeff Allen last night was extremely successful. Jeff was just as funny as I remembered. He’s as good a comedian as anyone in the country, secular or Christian. To watch all these other people laughing until they cried really made the event rewarding. I had more people come up to me afterwards and thank me for bringing Jeff to town. Jeff’s comedy was great and he ended it with a really sobering (no pun intended) message about how God can change a life. I believe everyone there walked away with much more than a laugh. Thanks for partnering with WCQR and we look forward to working with you again.
     Mike Perry, General Manager, WCQR

No doubt, you are the funniest man on the planet... and solid proof that intelligent, witty reflections on life are so much funnier than the dirt that tries to pass for comedy today. Thank you. Thank you.
    Tom McReynolds, Long Beach, CA

Jeff did a marvelous job! I couldn't have asked for more. He exceeded all expectations.
    Larry Kreider, "The Gathering of Men" www.thegathering.org

I had six people tell me that their "lives have been changed forever" (accepting Christ) after the Sunday in which I shared your DVD. Moreover, I had pre-ordered 12 of your DVDs expecting a number of people to want them (I strongly encouraged our people to use your DVD as the tool to share the gospel with their unchurched friends). The response was incredible! Hence my additional order for 38 more. Furthermore, I am committed to keeping a healthy inventory of your DVDS on our Resource Table for as long as I am the Lead Pastor (I have no intention of going anywhere).
     Jeffrey Pearson Lead Pastor, THE BRIDGE, Kent Island, MD 

Jeff was absolutely hysterical... but his testimony was even more stunning. I have also shown clips from the "Bananas" series in our Men's Fraternity meetings and the guys have loved the humor. Jeff's passion and honesty in his testimony was unbelievable! I truly believe having Jeff come and do his comedy/testimony can and will make such an impact here.
     Philip Houchins, Richmond, VA

Our Men's event was a great success. Everyone that I talked to loved it. Jeff made people laugh so hard they were getting headaches. Jeff did an outstanding job during the serious part of the day; he really spoke to the men's hearts. I know that not one will ever forget him.
     Eric Kear, Community Worship Center, Perryton, TX

WOW! What a fantastic evening. Jeff hit a home run, not only with his comedic presence and humorous stories but especially in sharing how Jesus Christ has changed his life. I had the honor of leading four people to Christ personally that evening and I know that many others were talking with other pastoral staff and lay leaders. Many seeds were planted in the hearts of non-believers that night.
