Comedian Jeff Allen Comes to Northeast Florida

Dec. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- When stress is high like it is now and more people need an encouraging word than ever, it helps to turn towards something completely out of the ordinary. Well, look no further ... Jeff Allen is definitely out of the ordinary.

Haven Horse Ranch, a St Augustine non-profit, 501c3 horse ranch for children, announced today that they are bringing nationally acclaimed and family friendly comedian Jeff Allen to the area for two shows this New Years Eve.

“The night’s festivities are being offered as an alternative to a ‘typical’ New Year’s Eve party. If you don’t want to simply stay at home, but going out partying all night isn’t your idea of fun, then come on out an join us for a family friendly night, but be prepared, I’ve seen him, Jeff is extremely funny and entertaining!” says Board Member Janet Tillman, of Tillman State Farm Agency. "I laughed until it hurt."

According to Mr. Allen’s website, www.jeffallencomedy.com, “Jeff is best at what he does, making people laugh as hard as humanly possible. He obliterates the lines between Christian Comedians, Corporate Comedians, Inspirational Speakers and just plain Hilarious!”

“This is our Annual Fundraiser for our scholarship programs for local children” say’s Executive Director Ric Lehman. “This year, the economy has hit us hard along with everyone else in the area, so what better way to ring in the New Year and try and rebuild our programs, than with some much needed laughter? Jeff Allen promises to bring that and more.”

Seating is limited and Tickets are now on sale for both shows, 6:00 PM for those who want to then go to dinner or to another New Years Eve event and 9:00 PM for those who want to make this their evening’s event.
