About Me

"Funny and smart." That's what George Carlin had to say about Jeff Caldwell after a show at Caroline's in New York. "This guy is incredible," said Dennis Miller. Craig Ferguson and David Letterman said "very funny." CBS showed that they agreed with George, Craig, David and Dennis by giving Jeff a deal to develop his own sitcom. It didn't get on the air, but it was a nice thought!
Two years into an engineering Ph.D., Jeff decided to stop pretending to read texts and come out to his family and the world as a comedian. While he enjoys a successful and fulfilling comedy career, Jeff is reminded of his scientific past every month when his student loan bill arrives.

Solve one problem,...

I'd finally had enough of all the junk email solicitations clogging my inbox, so I made a concerted effort to unsubscribe from all of them.  Now I don't get any emails at all.  Do I hav...

Core on the Floor

Just back from my floor, upon which I was doing some "core" exercises. This consists of me doing about 5 crunches, and then one or both of my dogs standing on my chest and licking me or biting my nose...

Just Back...

...from Boston, where I taped a set on "NESN's Comedy All-Stars," a sports standup show hosted by my bud Gary Gulman.  Gully was very funny and annoyingly good-looking, and the roster was full of...
