Jeff Green
Award-winning British comedian Jeff Green has been a much-loved presence on Australian TV and radio since he first hit our shores in 1996 for his debut Melbourne International Comedy Festival season. Now resident (he has an Australian wife, some have accused him of social climbing, but he disputes that), Jeff is hugely in demand in Australia, the UK, Europe and Asia. His impressive stand-up comedy background features a solo West-End season, three full length UK TV comedy specials, two Australian TV comedy specials, and countless appearances on TV gala specials and comedy panel shows both here and in the UK – including Spicks and Specks (ABC), Good News Week (Ten) and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (Ten).
Jeff has performed for scores of corporate clients including a large spectrum of European and Australian Industry: Virgin, Bluescope Steel, BMW, British Gas, Scottish Publican’s Association, BOSS Industry Awards, Northern Housing Awards, Education Resources, Airwave Star Awards, Affinity Media, Channel Four Television and Deloitte.
A best-selling author with his books selling over 300,000 copies. Jeff has maintained his celebrity on UK radio and TV. His BBC Radio 2 comedy series The Green Guide To Life attracted audience averages of over 3 million radio listeners. UK TV appearances include two seasons of Celebrity Masterchef, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and a stint as team captain on Bill Bailey’s Birdwatching Bonanza. In 2013, he released a new DVD titled Jeff Green Live! which was recorded at Australia’s oldest continually operating theatre – Hobart’s glorious Theatre Royal.
In 2015 Jeff returned to Edinburgh Fringe by invitation to perform a season for legendary ‘Big Four’ Fringe venue The Gilded Balloon’s 30th anniversary, in 2018 Jeff was invited back to the UK to headline the inaugural Chester Comedy Festival, where he once again achieved critical acclaim and sell-out performances. Jeff returns in 2022 for a much-hyped appearance at Big Comedy UK’s Southport Comedy Festival.
