Jeff Greenspan is a Brooklyn-born comedian based in Chattanooga.
He has appeared on Netflix, written for filmmaker Michael Moore, and performed at the Limestone, Red Clay, and Portland Queer Comedy festivals.
For three years Jeff ran The Carpetbagger’s Comedy Night, a bi-weekly lineup of New York and Southern comics that sold out more than fifty shows in a row.
His questionably legal comedy stunts and public art have been featured by major news outlets around the world and shared by millions online.
He’s often on stage at Atlanta’s Laughing Skull Lounge and Zanies Nashville, and co-produces Chattanooga’s Don’t Tell Comedy shows.
Some front page love for The Carpetbagger’s Comedy Night
A bi-weekly show I produced where NYC comics joined Southeast faves.
During the pandemic’s lockdown, I left NYC to become a “Comedian in Residence” at Humanaut, a creative production company in Chattanooga. While there, I lived in The Bode Hotel.
One night, the hotel let me run a socially-distanced comedy show in their lobby. We only had a karaoke machine for a sound system and a smattering of hotel guests for an audience, but it went well enough to try again.
We eventually got a legit sound system (and audience), so I moved full-time to Tennessee to host and produce what became The Carpetbagger’s Comedy Night, a bi-weekly showcase where my NYC comedy pals joined Southeast faves. The show grew to having over 50 sold-out shows in a row.
When the hotel was sold, the show moved to The Granfalloon, regularly drawing standing-room-only crowds until it closed on its 3rd anniversary.
During the show’s run, a producer from The Daily Show thought the idea of a “New York comedy refugee” might make for an interesting series. A crew came down and made a litte “sizzle reel.”
