“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.”

“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.”

“We were so thrilled to be able to attend your Zanies show tonight in Nashville. My 16 - year - old son and I first heard you after my husband deployed in 2006 and a friend gave us one of your CDs for Christmas. We laughed hysterically! Once again my husband has just deployed (to Africa this time) and we were very excited to be able to enjoy you live. As we were driving out of Nashville back to Ft, Campbell, my son said, “I’d really like to meet him sometime, Mom. I really would. He’s such a great guy!” It makes me very happy to have a son who likes your clean comedy rather than the Simpsons or South Park versions of funny.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
