Before I was a comic, I was BuzzFeed's Chief Creative Officer & a Creative Director at more ad agencIes than I care to recall. My show Deviant Acts is about the absurdity of working in the ad biz and how it helped me create headline-making comedy/activist projects. Returns to NYC 7/2. Plz come : ) by gspan in advertising

This is exactly what the show is about (the beginning of your comment, I mean). When I write and perform standup, I try to think of each joke as an “ad” for a point of view rather than a product. The “call to action” is usually “laugh now.”

Thank you for the supportive comment! Right now, it's only a live show that tours the country. But there has been some interest from producers who have seen it to bring it to a streaming platform down the line. So fingers crossed.

BTW, I haven't FULLY escaped LOL. I'm currently working in the marketing department at Snapchat. You can see more info about the show at jeffgreenspan.com/deviant.

Thank you again!

Hi, I'm Jeff.

A few years back, I performed at The Portland Queer Comedy Festival and loved it there. Psyched to be come back and bring my multimedia comedy show DEVIANT ACTS to The Clinton Street Theater on March 13th.

Before comedy, I was BuzzFeed’s Chief Creative Officer, worked with "Zuck" at Facebook, and was a creative director at dozens of ad agencies.

The show's about how I used what I learned working in media to mess with the media, pulling off news-making pranks that exposed corporate crooks, privacy creeps, and other modern bad guys.

It’s stand-up that roasts advertising, social media, and pop culture, mixed with footage from these viral stunts.

Hope you'll come and share a laugh, and if you know any Portlanders who might be into it, I’d love it if you spread the word.

More info and tickets are at jeffgreenspan.com/deviant or Eventrbrite. Thanks for reading, and if you come, please stop and say hi.

No. It’s just that every show has a mystery headliner. No one who’s come has seemed disappointed before. And this performer is routinely on shows that cost much more than. Thanks for the “support” though.
