Wait, he’s a former lawyer and a very accomplished writer, but... comedy?
Absolutely.
In the marketplace of ideas, comedy is an immediate, short-form, proactive and reactive tool for engagement that satisfies the need for smart, unique content and compelling stories.
Jeff is collaborating on a scientific study about the engagement effect of well-crafted humor. Details soon.
Humor isn’t appropriate for every project, but there is no better proving ground for creating concise, gripping, and memorable material than stand-up.
Jeff's work has appeared on TV, radio, online and print pages around the world and has been praised by the likes of Publisher's Weekly, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, CNBC, Rachel Maddow, San Francisco Chronicle, Dallas Morning News and even Penthouse Magazine.
