The New York Times called it ““Wilfully upbeat, and very funny! A gentle, tough-guy solo show, that is at once both brash and sentimental.”  Jeff also appeared in the Peter Farrelly movie, Ricky Stanicky for Amazon starring Zac Efron and John Cena. His television projects include ROAST BATTLE for Comedy Central which has become an international phenomenon with markets including England, Germany, Canada and South Africa producing their own versions.
