JEFF COTTRILL

Jeff is a fiction writer and spoken-word performer whose stage act uses elements of performance poetry, comedy, storytelling... even the occasional puppet. With a satirical, often darkly comic flavor, he likes to make his audiences laugh, cringe, or (preferably) both. Jeff has featured in literary shows all over North America and even in London, England. In 2005, he released his first CD, Cracktastic!, and he has also had two chapbooks published. Jeff likes movies, travel, and puppies. For more info, view his website at jeffcottrill.coffeehouse.ca.
