JEFF RICHARDS

Jeff Richards regularly performs his high-energy, character-and-impression-based comedy on television and all over the country.

In over two years on Saturday Night Live, Jeff brought the memorable mess Drunk Girl and the infant rapper Baby K to the show as well as impressions of Gary Busey, Dr. Phil, Bill O'Reilly, Charlie Rose, David Letterman, Garry Shandling and Kevin Spacey.

After graduating high school in Walnut Creek, California in 1993, Jeff hosted a morning show radio and created a sketch comedy show that also appeared on public access TV in the bay area. In the mid 90's he began attending the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill. There, after a life-changing epiphany while studying abroad in Italy, he began to perform comedy on stage.

After graduation Jeff hit the road and crisscrossed the country with his motorcycle and backpack performing anywhere he could. In late 1997, he moved to Los Angeles. He developed into favorite of fans and other comics in the hyper-competitive Hollywood comedy scene. Soon he became the only actor ever to perform in the cast of both Saturday Night Live and Mad TV. He also appeared on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Late Friday", "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn."

Jeff's stand-up features the characters and impressions from his television work in addition to hilarious impressions of Ozzy Osborne, George W. Bush, Al Gore and others along with new, outrageous original characters.
