When the Laughter Stopped

Comedian Jeff Allen says there’s no such thing as a ‘fun drunk.’

My wife is always trying to get me to exercise. First of all, I hate exercise. I tried jogging about a year ago. I wasn’t very good at it. I’d run about a mile, buy a half dozen doughnuts and walk back. I ran every day for six months and gained 41 pounds. If you ask me, running really packs on the flab!

Jeff Allen knows how to get a laugh. With more than 18 years on the comedy circuit and 5,000 performances under his belt, Allen has perfected the art of twisting everyday situations into comedy. But don’t let the facade fool you. Behind this blue-sports-coat-toting, khaki-pant-wearing all-American dad who can make hundreds roll by recounting the early days of his marriage is a man who will tell you he’s learned life’s lessons the hard way.
