Description
After more than four decades on stage, Jeff Allen has seen it all: the highs and lows of marriage, the chaos of raising kids, and the constant reminder that life’s “human condition” comes with both laughter and struggle.
Each week, Jeff pulls back the curtain to share honest stories, timeless comedy, and heartfelt reflections on faith, family, and culture. Sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it’s raw—but it’s always real.
