“His seamless tales have the tang of real life – Red in tooth and claw” The Mirror

Growing up in London’s East End Jeff is the son of a real life villain and could have chosen a career in the family firm. Instead he worked in the 70s in London’s fashionable Kings Road and Carnaby Street as a window dresser for a chain of boutiques and at night moonlighted as a DJ popularizing Jamaican music. By the 80s the retail industry had lost its charm and Jeff enrolled at university for a BA in Cultural Studies and stayed on to complete an MA in History and Philosphy before finally answering his true calling 16 years ago to become a stand up comedian.
