BIO

Jeff grew up a spindly Jewish dork with a huge, humped schnozz. He was inept at sports and much preferred dissecting frogs and fetal pigs. At 16 he got a mediocre nosejob which reduced his schnozz from "enormous" to merely "large." This did not reduce the amount of ridicule and abuse he received from his peers but did provide comedic inspiration for years to come.

Through the late 80's and early 90's Jeff was the chief songwriter in several god awful punk bands that achieved absolutely no notoriety. He did develop a reputation for writing hillarious songs. During this time he received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry.

In 1992 He hit the stage as Powered By Satan. He wore red leotards with horns and a tail and played funny songs in rock clubs. This got him laid so he wore those itchy leotards for 14 years (and maybe washed them twice.) Jeff put out a CD called "When the Log Rolls Over We’ll Be Dead," acquired a sizeable cult following, and played on 2 coasts and 2 continents. After a while his jokes between songs and his exchange of insults with the audience were getting as many laughs as the songs themselves. So after years of playing music venues, Jeff reinvented his act for the comedy stage and moved to Los Angeles.

Now it’s just him in plainclothes talking about dorky, inane things and playing dorky, inane songs. Topics include life as a techno dweeb, being bullied, his nosejob, his cat’s dingleberry problem, his career as a brainiac scientist, and dating heavy metal chicks.

Jeff Leon is currently based in Long Beach, CA and is gigging actively. He has played major comedy clubs (Comedy Store, Ice House, the Improv Clubs) , coffee houses, rock clubs, hip hop showcases, lesbian and gay venues, restaurants, birthday parties, a bar-mitzvah, sports bars, radio stations, art galleries, a trustafarian's loft party, a heroin rehab center, a fundraising event for three legged cats, a university fund raising event, a memorial event in a Pentecostal church, and a naked hippie festival. His shows vary from 100% stand-up to 100% music but are usually an equal mix.

His satanic alter ego, Powered By Satan, lives on as Flibbertigibbet. He comes out to play on special occasions and by request.

Jeff Leon appeared on season 7 of Last Comic Standing and has been a featured artist on the FUMP (Funny Music Project), which is the premiere internet site for funny music. He recently played Takeout Comedy in Hong Kong, which is Asia's only full time English comedy club.

• My shows can range from from 100% music to 100% stand-up depending on the venue and the audience. They are usually about a 50:50 mix
• I can go clean.
• If you book me you won't get jokes about Britney Spears. You won't get jokes about Facebook or about the headlines. You won't get "hey didja ever notice...?" routines. You will get a professional act that is as likeable and memorable as it is original.
• "Quirky," "likable," and "original" have been used to describe some of my performances. "Don't let him breed" has been screamed by audience members at others.
• I've been performing on stage with one act or another for 23 years now.
• I appeared in the first episode (LA Auditions) of Last Comic Standing Season 7.
