'Formerly a Chemical Engineer, I left University in 1986 with an Honours Degree, a high powered job and a deep feeling that I'd made a huge mistake. 25 years later I'm a stand-up comedian with a global fan-base; sell out tours of festivals and theatres, West End seasons, three DVD releases, book sales of over 300,000 and countless TV and radio appearances. In 2005 I was a happy-go-lucky London bachelor sharing the stage and dressing rooms with the biggest names in UK comedy. I'm now a married father of two, Australian citizen who loves his new life. But how did it all happen? Well, let me tell you...' - Jeff Green

Thank you for your outstanding contribution to our recent Leadership Conference. Your performance was one of the highlights of the Conference - we all had a real belly laugh! It was a privilege to have you perform for us and our thanks, once again, for your fantastic contribution to our event.
Jeff performed tremendously as the MC at one of our recent events. He understood the corporate objective and was able to deliver the message with comedic wit. Jeff was such a pleasure to work with that we would jump at the opportunity to book him again and would strongly recommend him to other clients.
I really enjoyed his show, nice to have a comedian who can be really funny without needing to swear and without being crude.
