Comedian Jeff Shaw’s writing is marked both by idealism and humanity. His stimulating satire is often infused with a singular poetic beauty.
Over the past 30 years, Jeff has performed nearly 9,000 shows across North America and the Caribbean. Las Vegas has been one of his favorite engagement locations. In 2009, Jeff helped launch the Punchliner Comedy Club chain for Carnival Cruise Line and then Headlined for the very comedy chain he helped create. Portions of his two hours of material offer a rare inside glimpse into ship life.
Jeff’s hilarious first book, The Fun Dude’s Guide to Cruising: A Humorous Handbook for Taking Your First Cruise and Living to Complain About It, is available now as both a paperback and Kindle e-book on Amazon.
In the 1990s, Jeff wrote popular comedic essays and feature stories for Cleveland’s Scene Magazine, Buffalo’s Art Voice, and the online comedy publication SHECKY! Magazine. Jeff is also a former staff writer for Cleveland’s American Greetings Corporation, responsible for hundreds of funny greeting cards and novelty items for the company’s Alternative Cards Department.
Jeff’s clever writing ability, diverse experience, and professionalism make him the perfect choice for corporate after dinner entertainment.
