Jeff Green (comedian)

Jeff Green (born February 23 1964 in Chester) is an English comedian and writer.

Stand-up

He frequently appears in stand-up festivals around the country and on London's famed West End. His first solo tour in the United Kingdom sold out every show, and was broadcast on the ITV network. Coming out of the politically correct Alternative comedy scene of the 80’s, with it's strict rules on sexism and racism he was the first of the modern UK comedians to write and perform Relationship/Girlfriend stand-up comedy material. What followed was the efforts of so many less skillful comedians that it has now become a clichéd comedy form. Although still considered by some as a ‘Relationship’ comic, very little of his live material now actually covers the topic.

Television and Radio

His first TV stand-up show "Jeff green Live" recorded at Her Majesty's Theatre was shown on the ITV network on 29th December 1996. His second ITV show "Jeff Green Up West" recorded at The Gielgud Theatre was shown in May 1997. Both shows were watched by over 3 million viewers. "Back From The Bewiderness" his third stand-up show recorded in 2003 at The Gielgud Theatre has been shown several times on The Paramount Comedy Channel.

He has also made appearances on ITV's daytime show "This Morning" and on Australian TV in "Spicks and Specks". In 2002 he provided the voice-over for "The Football Years" on Sky One.
