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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
