"Jeff Allen is one funny guy! His comic take on family life is better than therapy. And a lot cheaper, too!"—Mark Lowry

Review of Lock the Door by Serious Comedy

Review of Happy Wife, Happy Life Revisited by Serious Comedy
"An absolute must have comedy CD [and DVD]"

Review of Jeff Allen - Bananas by Serious Comedy
"Allen is a born again Christian and the last half of his set on this comedy DVD is his profession of faith. He tells how he has found God. Allen does it so honestly and sincerely that you are captivated by his story and definitely want to hear it to its conclusion. It is a fascinating story."

I want to give Jeff Allen the highest recommendation I possibly can offer. In a day when comedy seems to have often sunk to a new low and to many off color humor seems to be a staple, Jeff is a breath of fresh air. And he leaves you gasping for air as you roll in laughter. Our organization is a Christian organization with multiple ministries all over North America. As the leader you often hold your breath with a comedian praying you will not be embarrassed. Not so with this great talent. Jeff exhibits the highest character, sets forth a clean and hilarious program, and leaves the people begging to have him back. That is a refreshing change in today's world! I recommend him for serious consideration to any organization which desires its people to enjoy life and to witness first hand the amazing manner in which God can transform and gift an individual to bring joy to so many.
—Bob Reccord, President

Jeff Allen did a wonderful job at our Family Time Getaway Conference. He was funny, and he captured the crowd with laughter and joy. His presence and performance was a blessing to all.
—Gary Lydic, Director of Church Relations, Focus on the Family

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many excellent entertainment professionals during our annual meetings, and this was by far my most positive experience... I cannot adequately express to you how much everyone enjoyed your performance after our awards presentations.
—Steve Mason, Vice President, Operations Services

We were very, very pleased with Jeff - we had an outstanding turnout and the crowd loved him - we laughed so much, I don't think there was one dry eye in the audience. The comments I've heard were very positive. We were really blessed by his testimony towards the end and how humble and transparent we was. God has truly done a great work in him.
—Carmen L. Chavis, Kingdom Life Christian Church

We can’t say enough abut the “Jeff Allen & Friends” comedy concert we hosted at Mandarin Christian Church! The sound of laughter that filled our Worship Center still lingers in the air. The outreach program Jeff has designed is a wonderful opportunity for churches. Our folks gobbled up the two-for-one tickets and brought friends, neighbors, relatives and co-workers. Jeff Allen & Friends provided us [with] a wonderful opportunity for our folks to invite those “hard to reach” people to the church.
—Dr. Dennis A. Bratton, Senior Minister

On behalf of the Officers and employees of The Salvation Army Eastern Territorial Headquarters I write to express our sincere appreciation for your ministry of laughter at our Christmas luncheon. The feedback from our staff, many who are involved in planning many special events, has been very positive and grateful for an enjoyable program. It was great to watch some of the more serious looking folks loosen up evidenced by their wide smiles and some good deep belly laughter.
I also want to thank you for sharing your personal story and testimony. Those moments were very special. Several employees commented to me regarding your story. Some related to it because of similar situations faced within their families. Many others because they were rejoicing once again in the wonder working power of our Lord.
Be assured that we will share our experience with others in The Salvation Army which I trust will provide future opportunities for ministry. May the Lord continue to use you and bless your ministry in this new year.
—Lt. Colonel Gil Reynders, Territorial Secretary for Programs

I can honestly say Jeff Allen truly was the best performer, or better stated minister of laughter that we have ever had. He brought the house down with his incredible humor; he’s the funniest guy I’ve ever heard. Not only was his humor wonderful but also testimony of faith in Christ was so very touching.
—Wade L. Liberator, Associate Pastor
 

What an amazing evening we had with Jeff Allen... Jeff also does a great job of weaving his personal testimony about his relationship with Christ into his program. One minute you are rolling with laughter...the next you can hear a pin drop as he shared how Christ has changed his life...and the next you are again holding your sides as you laugh.
—Michael Ray, Senior Associate Pastor

Your routine at the National Prayer Breakfast was very well received. Many of the thousands in attendance complained of severe abdominal pain from chronic laughter. Your good, clean humor was perfect! You brought the house down and your testimony was direct and sincere.
—Zach Wamp, Member of Congress

I whole-heartedly recommend Jeff for any event you may be planning. You will be blessed!
—Tom Bledsoe, Program Director

Jeff Allen’s ministry was very successful! It was truly a blessing to have him here. Jeff has a very humble spirit and is a refreshing individual! His ministry was outstanding and people’s lives were touched!

Jeff not only had everyone “belly” laughing with tears streaming down, but he also provided a way for each of us to take a serious look at life through the relief of comedy.
—Jerry W. Weimer, Executive Vice President & COO


One of the goals [of our conference of pastors of large churches from across America] are for the pastors to relax and have fun. Boy...did we have fun during the time of Jeff’s presentation! It was virtually 70 minutes of continuous laughter and tears.
—Howard R. Brammer, Senior Minister
