Corporate Retirement Party

Jeff was very communicative leading up to the event and did a great job entertaining the crowd. Nothing but positive feedback was received from the party goers.

Thanks for a great job Jeff!

Funniest Guy Around!

Jeff is hilarious!!! He was the best part of my dad’s birthday extravaganza! Plus, he’s conservative…not easy to find here in CA 😂 He engaged with a lot of the guests and made everyone laugh their heads off. Thanks Jeff!!!

Prompt, Professional, and Fun!

We had a great experience with Jeff as our Emcee/Auctioneer. He was really professional and funny! Even though it was a really small event (my husband's brithday party with our close friends), Jeff treated us like we were a major client. We spoke a couple days before the party and planned out timing and a few other things; I could tell when he arrived that he had prepped and taken our whole conversation to heart. It was a small event in our backyard at home, and I didn't have anything prepared as far as sound; so he offered to bring his portable PA system so he could have a mic! Everyone there had such an amazing time; and my husband and I were relieved that we didn't have to worry about auctioneering our own event, and we could sit back and be involved with the fun!

Jeff Ahern Actually Is Funny

Jeff won over a tough crowd with his stand up performance! He kept the audience engaged and laughing. He was professional to correspond with and he arrived early the night of the performance. I would use him again for future events.

Wedding Reception 4-16-2016

We used Jeff for our wedding reception and we would recommend him to others! He met with us before the wedding and got acquainted with us. We got to tell him our story and how we want the reception to go. He arrived the day of the wedding and was in formal attire, we were impressed with his appearance and how professional he was. Jeff was great with the crowd, he was funny, and our guests loved him! Definitely will be using him again for any future events!

What to expect

As soon as I get the microphone in my hand my goal is to be engaging. Whether that tone is serious of humorous is up to my client. I pride myself on coming up with great ideas and concepts. Then executing them with ease and professionalism. Let me make your next event something special.

About

My name is Jeff Ahern. I am a professional Comedian and Emcee. I have over 20 years in the industry with television, commercial and writing credits. I was a member of the world Famous Second City and voted the funniest comic in Chicago by the New City newspaper. My credits include Showtime at the Apollo, Comic View, Jimmy Kimmel and the Next Big Star. I have writing credits with both the Tonight Show and Us Weekly where I was a member of the Fashion Police for seven years. I have hosted the Taste of Chicago for two years and even emceed for speakers like Dr Kenneth Blanchard and Rudy Ruettiger. The most important thing to me is keeping the audience happy and engaged. I have a great deal of experience in this because I have been a professional warm up comic for the last 5 years. I have done shows for Nickelodeon, Game Show Network, Tru TV, Bravo and the Food Channel. I also do speeches as fake experts. My last one was as an efficiency Expert for SoCalGas.

Additional booking notes

I just need a microphone and an audience.
