JEFF GERBINO moved from New York to Minneapolis, MN. in the 1970's. The reason for the move was common among young men of the '70's: love of a woman. He also had a love for comedy. The love of a woman provided a 29 year marriage and two children. The love of comedy provided the spark to a new, national comedy industry that was still a laugh embryo.

When the event was over he convinced the bar owner to let him do weekly shows in the blue collar room. After a few months comedians starting burrowing their way out of the paneled walls of the dingy nightclub.

Professional Comedians Contest, appeared on HBO, Showtime, NBC.CBS and was a featured performer on Air America.
