“Jeff came on my radio show as a guest and delivered an astonishing comic act that had everyone in the studio laughing. He projects one-liners with his own style and wit and he keeps you interested and entertained at the same time.” 

DJ Modern Mark KSCU 103.3 FM


“Jeff Applebaum was absolutely fabulous at our Lockheed Martin Fundraiser this past year at the Santa Clara Marriott. His sense of humor, style and professionalism were great; perfect for guests. Jeff had the crowd engaged and laughing. Jeff was a delight, like a breath of fresh air for a typically serious, conservative crowd. Jeff helped make our gala event a memorial evening.” 

Beatriz Valdez Ontiveros, Event Coordinator Lockheed Martin

“Jeff was very entertaining to watch and listen to … his message is clear, funny and hilarious. He crosses cultural barriers without offense that we can all laugh at.”

Dr. Cree Guardino


“Our big birthday celebration was a total blast at RoosterTs! Jeff was hilarious and our party of 20 enjoyed a fabulous time! Jeff’s sincerity, wit and expressions were entertaining and funny. We will look for Jeff at all the hot comedy spots from now on.”
