Hailing all the way from Toronto, Canada, Jeff Cottrill is a journalist by day, performance poet and classic-film nerd by night, who likes to make audiences laugh, cringe or (preferably) both. His performance style is influenced by slam conventions, but subverts them with wit, ironic humour and a satirical tone. For more than a decade, Jeff has performed in numerous venues throughout Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. while authoring four chapbooks and recording three CDs; his latest CD is titled This Album is NIT FENNY!. TorontoPoets.com once called him “One of the funniest spoken-word artists in Canada.” This is his first time performing in France. More info at http://www.JeffCottrill.com.
