Madison comic Jeff Havens will be performing in the Dreyfus University Center Encore Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 8:00 p.m.
Havens, originally from Tennessee, was an English teacher before going into comedy. Much of his act centers upon making fun of the English language, and using wordplay to stir laughs.
“He makes fun of the dictionary,” said Centertainment employee, Emily Groves.
In addition to comedy, Havens is a motivation speaker and author. His fictional book, Reality, centers around a man who despises reality television, yet works for a corporation that produces them. He’s also authored 9 Easy Ways to Uncrapify Your Life and 10 Easy Ways to Fix Your Hopelessly…, both books that detail his motivational angle.
Havens will be the final comedian sponsored by Centertainment for the 2007-2008 school year.
Tickets for Haven’s show are free with a student ID and $4.00 without.
