“The key to getting laughs
is all in the delivery.
You’ve got to sell yourself to the audience before
you can get them to buy your jokes.
A good example of that process in action is the work of Jeff
Barrett. The
three comedians who preceded Barrett got nothing but cold stares from the audience.
It seemed like Robin Williams could not have made this audience laugh.
But when Barrett got on stage, exuding boy-next-door innocence that made the
audience
want to like him, the atmosphere changed quickly. The audience laughed throughout
his
whole set. The audience laughed, because Barrett sold the joke. He looked totally
comfortable. He made telling jokes on a floodlighted stage
before a cranky audience look incredibly easy!”
The Orlando Sentinel
Jeff Barrett’s comedy exposes a brutal honesty that
is seasoned with
a clever base, sarcasic tones and garnished with a quick
wit.
All served up with a comfortable ease as he blends his material
through the
audience much like an artist blending his paints across the
canvas.
Making every painting an original.
An organically hip experience featuring 100% stone ground
comedy
without any preservatives or genetic engineering of any kind.
Just a good healthy dose of life from the compost heap.
Laughter is good medicine. Prescribe it often and learn how
to
grinn and barrett.
