If funny original comedy with a heavy dose of sarcasm is what you are after, then Jeff is the comic for you. Jeff has made finding faults in himself and others an art form. After being raised in the farmlands of Indiana, he and his comedy now reside in the heart of the inner city. Through his tales of ‘Bad Life Choices’, he shows us that we are all human and that we should all laugh at ourselves. Whether your eighteen or eighty, you will find his comedy accessible and hilarious. His unique perspective on marriage, kids, society and life will leave you always wanting more. He’s performed at both five hundred seat theaters and intimate comedy clubs.
I am married with a wonderful baby, two cats and one Pit named Lilly. I always take the easy way out and I have not showered in ’08. I DID have a day job where I did nothing but slice fruit for nine hours straight every day, seven days a week, without holidays. All this constant fruit cutting allowed me to parade around at night as "Local Comic". I’ve not always made the best life choices, and this is just another in a long string of many. I’m just short of an underachiever, who also lacks grace and skills. I one day hope to perform my one man show, "Oh So Cheesy" on stages across the Mid East.

About me: Local Indy comic. My wife Alicia owns her own Yoga/Massage Studio, "Up-Dog Yoga" www.updog-indy.com. We both are trying to follow our dreams and live life to it's fullest. (Just like everyone else in the world.) We live in a transitional neighborhood in Downtown Indianapolis. My favorite food is Pizza and my favorite color is Purple. Not to brag but I drive a '96 Sable Four Door with a crack spanning the entire windshield. My baby boys name is Elijah...and NO we are not going to call him Eli. He likes to run around and scream at the animals!

Yes, times are hard-- Unemployment in Indiana tops ten percent. Young people are struggling to stay in college because graduating is terrifying... Been there before, in the middle of another painful recession in the 80's-- The answer was reggae music-- I brought reggae bands to stages from PA to Iowa, and points in between. Those years were spent in the groove, poor but irie! Now, we need music more than ever before-- Even with hope on the horizon, it's going to be a long haul this time. Mumbai Taxi is trying to ease the pain-- Yes, there will be weekends when a cover at a club, and the price of drinks, will be a bit dear... Our solution: HOUSE PARTIES!!! We need to play, and you need trips, Taxi trips-- A cosmic convergence of positive iration! Let's declare a new SUMMER OF LOVE-- Of Mumbai Taxi psychedeslic Mambo, Tropicalia, Soukous, Soweto Beat & Rockin' Raga Reggae in living rooms, back yards, deep woods, concert halls, gardens, festivals-- Wherever there is a need to tune in, turn on, and take a (Mumbai) Taxi trip! Contact us soon-- The calendar is filling up.
