Jeff Havens graduated from Vanderbilt University with the idea of becoming a high school English teacher. He did, too, for a while, until he realized that English is far too absurd to be taken seriously. Now he uses his passion for words, names, sayings and phrases to poke fun at his native tongue, with hilarious results!

Jeff’s clean, intelligent routine has made him a popular draw in clubs and colleges across the country. By the end of Jeff’s show, you will come away with a brain full of new knowledge, such as:

• Boanthropy, sesquipedalophobia, and other words you didn’t know existed

• Flowers – 55 ways to say I’m sorry

• Shampoo – so many varieties, so few heads

• “Whistling angrily” and 7 other things you’ll never be able to do

• Courvoisier, Lemonjello, and other names you should never give to your children

At only 27 years old, Jeff has already worked with several nationally-known acts, including James Johann, C. Willie Miles, Tom Ryan, Tim Joyce, Keith Alberstadt, Marvin Todd, and Demetrius Nicodemus.

This is clean, smart comedy for all ages. Whether you’re boanthropic or sesquipedalophobic, you’ll laugh at Jeff’s witty, insightful performance. English may not be a perfect language, but it’s ours—and it sure is funny!

**Jeff is also a published author; his first novel, Reality, a satire about reality television. Trust us, it’s hysterical.
