Hello brave visitor who fought through the stormy seas of the internet waves of hyperbole and big time glossy show biz to find me here in my little space. I'll be blunt I'm as good as any comic out there. I can rock a room with 12 or 1200 and have done so as recently as last week! I can do it clean I can do it dirty I can do it corporate and I can do it political. That is called range; most of those whom I compete with and that would include Larry The Cable Guy, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, Lewis Black and Bill Maher. They all do one thing one way pretty much however they like. How I would love to have them trade places for one week and see how it would go for them. I could rock their world and their audiences I doubt they could do the same in mine!
Starting in the late 70's "BC" before cable before comedy clubs before children Jeff moved from Long Island New York to Minneapolis for love and the love of comedy. The St. Paul Pioneer Press called him the "founding father" of the Twin Cities comedy scene at a little club called Mickey Finn's and it quickly became the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. Comics such as Louie Anderson, Jeff Cesario, Stephanie Hodge, Joel Hodgeson and Scott Hansen all got their starts there.
Jeff took off for Los Angeles in the 80's and quickly became a nationally touring headliner at clubs all over the US. He made numerous appearances in national TV Commercials 2000 Flushes, Hardee's, National Car Rental and shows like the CBS Morning Show, HBO's Comic Relief, A&E's Comedy On The Road and PBS's Almanac. With a wife and two young children in tow.

"Jeff Gerbino is very funny! But not as funny as I am." · Senator Al Franken
In this age of specialization, even comedians need to be cross-functional. In Jeff Gerbino's case, he starts with over twenty years of comedy experience and combines it with global concert appearances, national television credits ,and appearances on Good Morning America, Arts and Entertainment and Comedy Central. As the winner of the Twin Cities Laff-Off and first runner-up in the Los Angeles Professional Comedian Contest, Jeff has proven that he can get laughs anywhere and anytime.
Historically, the late 1970's were BC for comedian Jeff Gerbino. It was Before Cable, Before Comedy clubs, Before Children. It was the time where Jeff decided to make a move. Jeff Gerbino moved from his boyhood home in Long Island, New York to Minneapolis, MN. The reasons for the move were common among young men of the '70's: love of a woman and love of comedy.
Minnesota served as fertile ground for the New Yorker. Between trips to visit his fiancée in Melrose, Minnesota and various day jobs, Jeff Gerbino straddled careers and his art at a time when comedy was just a glow in a few young comedians eyes. With a $1 cover charge, and a hand drawn logo, Jeff championed the newborn comedy industry with a handful of smart-alecs that included Louie Anderson, Scott Hansen and a blue collar bar named Mickey Finns. The St. Paul Pioneer Press called Jeff the "founding father" of the Twin Cities comedy scene as Mickey Finn's quickly became "the place to be" on Friday and Saturday nights. Comics such as Louie Anderson, Jeff Cesario, Stephanie Hodge, Joel Hodgson and Scott Hansen all got their starts there.
In the 1980's, after developing his trademark combination of political impersonations and current event material, Jeff headed to Los Angeles. Jeff was a finalist in the Los Angeles Comedy Contest hosted by Jay Leno and was chosen as one of Hollywood's hottest new comedy stars by the L.A. Weekly. Jeff quickly became a nationally touring headliner at clubs all over the US. He made numerous appearances on national TV including CBS Morning Show, HBO's Comic Relief, A&E's Comedy On The Road and PBS's Almanac.
