Described by many as "energetically laid -back," Jeff Capri is one of very few second generation comics working today. Jeff's observational comedic palette takes a different direction than his father's classic Catskill style. Jeff covers everything from pop-culture, biographical and political twists as well as a silly pun or two. The Los Angeles Times calls him "...consistently fun, spontaneous, smart and witty."
Jeff has worked a wide variety of audiences. Ranging from national television, headlining comedy club chains, numerous military tours (Including Iraq/Afghanistan) a favorite at colleges as well as corporate events. He has even preformed at a nudist colony! (Fully clothed.)
His ability, while not a priority, to work clean while keeping a caustic cynical edge is what makes this comedian truly unique. With many years of experience, Jeff is considered by his peers to be a consummate professional; his strong improvisational ability (A Second City Conservatory graduate.) enables him to easily adapt to any crowd.
Jeff Capri is a favorite in Las Vegas and has made many television appearances, including Comics Unleashed, Last Comic Standing, Ed McMahon’s Next Big Star and has appeared along side many respected entertainers, including Ellen DeGeneres, Joy Behar and Adam Sandler.
