This man is Jeff Kothe. He started his comedy career, like so many did, on a dare. It was not because he had a rough childhood, was abused or now even because he was Jewish - He is of German Descent. He took a Comedy class offered at the local Junior College by a part-time Minister, so his comedy is clean (unless otherwise merited!). According to the response, even his first set was a success and he started to develop more material. He has been "studying" comedy since he was young; he has a high IQ and a Photographic Memory - all of these helped him to be a good editor of content. and always had a knack for hearing the material through the ears of the audience. Jeff has always had a great sense of humor and  tells jokes well.
Jeff has produced his own Comedy shows as well as opened for some big names in the Comedy world - Frank Caliendo, Kevin Bozeman, etc.
He got to the point where he had to decide if he wanted to do Comedy full time and go on the road or stay in his small town and keep it as a fun hobby. He chose the latter. Moving to NY or LA (even Chicago) did not sound like it was in the cards for Jeff. Podcasts and Open Mics seemed a better option.
So, here he is!
