Good Ship Comedy feat Jeff Innocent
Multi award winning comedian Jeff Innocent has reached legendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for over 20 years. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End 'geezer appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and culturally relevant subject matter. Always original, he continues to cement his position within the history of British stand up comedians with his regular performances on the UK and world live comedy circuit and has recently acquired a whole new generation of fans, through his online viral video clips. Jeff Innocent started his comedy career in the mid 90s at the age of 41 after a colourful and eventful life including a father and brothers best described as entrepreneurs, working as a window dresser in the trendy 70s world of London's Kings Rd and Carnaby St fashion shops and appearing regularly as an actor at the radical Half Moon Theatre in London's Aldgate. It was in 1996, after a gap of 25 years, that Jeff resumed his passion for performing by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course a 40th birthday gift tutored by the legendary alternative stand up pioneer Tony Allen. Since then Jeff has performed stand-up comedy not just in the UK but in such far flung and unlikely locations as Viet Nam, Abu Dhabi, China, the Philippines, India, Norway, South Africa and Kuala Lumpur to name just a few. "Jeff Innocent delivers a masterclass in stand-up comedy every time he performs."Sunday Times "It should be made law that every British citizen should go and see Jeff innocent, hes that funny."Evening Standard "Jeff presents a show thats part history lesson, part sociology lecture, but all funny."
