Jeff Allen
“”Jeff Allen obliterates the lines between Christian Comedian, Corporate Comedian, Inspirational Speaker, and just plain Hilarious!”
Jeff Allen is the best at what he does–making people laugh as hard as humanly possible with clean funny jokes. His Happy Wife, Happy Life message of a marriage gone wrong and redeemed has given laughter and encouragement to millions of people. Jeff’s comedy drives home the humor in everyday family life and the joy derived from a healthy marriage. 
Imagine a raging-alcoholic-turned-born-again-Christian funny enough to make you fall out of your chair, and moments later, so moving that you must reach for a Kleenex. Amusing Grace “Jeff Allen is the best one-two punch in the Christian world,” says manager Lenny Sisselman. “He opens your heart and mind with hilarious, world-class comedy and then he gives his testimony of a near-ruined life redeemed by God. Nobody can do what he can do. If Jesus Christ returned to give a sermon, Jeff could open for Him.”

Accolades
Jeff Allen has received thousands of letters of appreciation for his humor and gratitude for how he shares his personal life. . Here is a sampling.
“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.” -Tom McReynolds, Long Beach, CA
“Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many excellent entertainment professionals during our annual meetings, and this was by far our most positive experience… I cannot adequately express to you how much everyone enjoyed Jeff Allen’s performance after our awards presentations.”—Steve Mason, Vice President, Operations Services, Chick-fil-A
“Jeff’s wit and observations about life, love, kids and marriage …are more effective than any psychiatrist I know.”—Gloria Gaither (Author, Lyricist)
“I immediately had a stitch in my side and a tear in my eye! Not many people can weave everyday life events into side-busting humor and then rip your heart out like Jeff Allen can. I believe God led me to his material. I also heard him 6 months later on Focus on the Family or the 700 club. I’m familiar with Mark Lowery and Chonda Pierce, both extremely talented but personally not compelling. I see nothing wrong with entertainment, it’s great to laugh, I do much of it. However, I do believe there is a fine line between “entertaining people and getting peoples attention” Jeff does both and he does it well.”-Bridge of Hope
