Description
Comedic and Inspirational memoir from the stand-up comic who coined the phrase "Happy Wife, Happy Life".
In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking-but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customised approach to reaching each of His children. Known as "the King of Clean Comedy," Allen's memoir won't disappoint.

He can be heard regularly on SiriusXM's comedy channels, as well as Pandora and Spotify. He has performed for our troops on aircraft carriers and ships in the Indian Ocean.

On his new tour, Jeff Allen 2.0, Jeff's sidesplitting comedy drives home the humor in everyday family life, the ups and downs of marriage, the challenge of raising children, the bliss of the empty nest (followed by the unexpected returns to said nest) and the joys of being a grandparent.
