Have performed in every major comedy club in NYC and LA. Recently opened for Colin Quinn at the Vermont Comedy Festival. Star of Too Much Tuna with Nick Kroll and John Mulaney.

It was a pleasure working with Jeffrey. A true professional, quick communication, early, friendly to all & very funny!
Response from Jeffrey Gurian:
Thank you very much! It was really great working with Anna Manis and Zeuses Muses and I'll make myself available anytime you need me!
We hired Jeffrey to do a 15-minute roast for a celebration of a birthday (64 yrs) and retirement. He was very clear in communicating what information/details he needed from us, and he delivered an entertaining, personalized, and crowd-pleasing performance. We didn't want anything "blue" and he accommodated completely. He arrived 30 mins early to get the sense of the room, and didn't rush us at all when his start time was delayed a little. We were super pleased with the whole experience, and recommend him very highly.
Response from Jeffrey Gurian:
It was a distinct pleasure to perform for this wonderful family, especially for such a happy occasion. Everyone was so kind, and they made me feel extremely welcome and all expressed their gratitude for my performance. It was like being with old friends!

I hold a very unique place in the comedy world. As a stand-up comedian who has performed in all the major clubs in NYC and LA I can work squeaky clean or not so clean, ... for up to 45 minutes! I was the main writer for the famous Friars Roasts for 12 years so I know how to do that.
I am also a red carpet host so I can arrange for a Roast if so desired, roasting family members or corporate colleagues, and write special comedy material geared towards your particular event if that is necessary. There is an additional expense for writing new material geared towards your personal event.
I can also arrange for one or more comedians to come and perform with me to do an hour show or even a 90 minute show if there is a budget for that.
People often refer to Jeffrey Gurian as a “Renaissance Man”, because he’s involved in so many things. He’s a comedian, comedy writer, director, author, producer, and radio personality, and not always in that order.
He’s worked with and befriended many big stars and comedy legends, from Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, George Wallace, Phil Hartman, Richard Belzer, Jerry Lewis, and Andrew “Dice” Clay, among many others to relative new stars like Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Tracy Morgan and Bill Burr.
Jeffrey has performed stand-up comedy at all of the big clubs in NY and L.A. and was featured several times on Comedy Central’s hit Kroll Show with Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen, Laura Dern and Katy Perry.
He was a regular on-air personality on Sirius XM’s Bennington Show, (formerly Ron and Fez), for two years, where he also brought on special guests/friends like Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, Colin Quinn, Artie Lange, Susie Essman, D.L. Hughley, and Lisa Lampanelli.
He’s also a comedy journalist and has been covering the comedy scene since 1999, and he’s also written for MTV, National Lampoon, Weekly World News, The Weekly Humorist and many Friars Roasts.
His Comedy Matters TV, You Tube channel has over 500 A-list celebrity interviews with everyone from Jimmy Fallon on down, with over 2 ½ million views.
Jeffrey has been profiled in the NY Times, Dan's Papers, the premiere magazine of The Hamptons, and was on the cover of Sutton Place Magazine in Jan. of 2023 as a "Comedy Legend." He has also been featured on every TV station coming out of NYC, ... CBS, NBC, ABC, WPIX, Newsmax, and CNN.
He’s produced shows starring Kevin Hart and Susie Essman, and according to Paul Provenza, and Nick Kroll is known by everyone in comedy. Nick says on camera that “nobody has more access to people in comedy than Jeffrey Gurian.”
