"Jeff Allen is the best comedian working today. Technically, he is considered peerless and experienced comics have acknowledged Jeff's superiority for years with little argument. They understand that the best stand-ups present their material with an approach similar to a singer performing hit songs in concert. There is a rise and fall to the perfect delivery that, once found, is presented in the same way every time. To us, the audience, that several minutes of subject matter apparently being explored and related from stage seems fresh and unrehearsed. The thoughts appear immediate; the words articulated crisply and with a daring we suspect has been channeled from a higher place of perception than the one we are allowed to inhabit. In reality, what we are observing is the "illusion of spontaneity" and Jeff Allen has become the master of that difficult art. If an election were held today in which only comedians were allowed to vote - and no one could vote for themselves - Jeff would win in a landslide."

"Jeff provided one of the best comic sets I’ve ever had on my stage. Funny, clean, professional and the audience ate him up. Really great guy, easy to work with and he clearly has his pulse on what is going on around him. Observational comedy is my favorite, and he’s one of the very best!"

"Jeff is a true professional, passionate about his craft, terrific to work with, and, he fully engages his audience. His humor ranges from subtle nuanced comic observations to outright in-your-face funny. The audience was rolling in the aisles during his show. I would absolutely book him again, and again, and again."

"Jeff was fantastic. The audiences loved him! I've had several requests already to invite him back. A co-worker who attended the show wrote this to me after the show: 'Great show last night. Full house, everyone was pleased with Jeff's ability to be serious with the audience and moments later having them laughing freely. He truly is a man of honest expression. Great find!'"

"Jeff is one of the most entertaining performers in comedy. He is topical, yet nostalgic, in his storytelling - and a favorite of our audiences."

"Jeff Allen resonates with his great observational style of comedy, shining a light on everyday life from growing up in the 50's and 60's, married life, raising kids, to the changes that he has seen in American life from his vantage point as a first rate comic. He packed our house, and had people roaring with laughter throughout his show. I will certainly have him back, and recommend him to any performing arts center or theatre that is looking for a great night in their house. A rare talent who avoids being blue and delivers a comedic tour de force with wit, great timing, and a humble / easy going style on stage."

"We enjoyed sold out Jeff Allen comedy nights in two of our markets recently. Our listeners were hungry for a great night of laughter and encouragement, and Jeff fit the bill perfectly! Jeff and his team are great to work with. Jeff did an amazing job. He was able to keep the audience fully engaged, and laughing, for 2 ½ hours. Looking forward to bringing him back!"
