Jeff Shaw

Jeff Shaw is a stand-up comic whose writing blends idealism, humanity, and stimulating satire with a singular poetic beauty. More important, he looks like Rod Stewart. Over the past 30 years, Jeff has performed nearly 9,000 shows across North America and the Caribbean, including a residency at Fitzgeralds Casino in downtown Las Vegas. In 2009, he helped launch the Punchliner Comedy Club chain for Carnival Cruise Line, where he became known as Jeff "The Fun Dude" and served as club manager and house MC on the Carnival Dream until returning to full-time stand-up in 2017.

In the 1990s, Jeff wrote comedic essays and features for Cleveland's Scene Magazine, Buffalo's Art Voice, and the online comedy publication SHECKY! Magazine. He's also a former staff writer for American Greetings Corporation, where he created hundreds of funny greeting cards and novelty items for the company's Alternative Cards Department.
