Here’s Jeff’s recent interview on the Toronto Jay Show, on ThatChannel.com (April 9, 2010), in which he discusses Grouch on a Couch, the local poetry scene and the mysterious presence of multiple hats.
Jeff is on starting at about 12:40, until about 23:10.
Here’s a link to Jeff’s first interview with New York City-based host Eric L. Jones on BlogTalkRadio.com (August 19, 2007), in which he talks about Guilt Pasta and dares to compare Brampton to Albany. There are also a few tracks from his first CD (Cracktastic!) on the show, along with some funky music:

Here are a few examples of stuff written about Jeff (rather than by him)…
Torontoist.com mentioned Grouch on a Couch in their “Urban Planner” for July 26, 2010, which spotlighted the Bad Dog Theatre Short Play Festival.
Check it out here.
EYE WEEKLY, for which Jeff has written theatre and film reviews in the past, chose the Bad Dog festival as one of its Arts “Best Bets” for the week of July 22-28, 2010 — and mentioned “a certain unnamed TV grouch”…
Here’s the proof.
The Artword website in Hamilton posted a couple of nice reviews of Grouch on a Couch, during its Fringe run there in July 2010.

VIEW, Hamilton’s alternative weekly, mentioned Jeff and Grouch on a Couch in their July 8, 2010 Fringe preview by festival president Brian Morton. The print version of the article even included a photo of Jeff.
Here’s the online version.
Here’s Gary 17′s preview piece for Jeff’s second CD, Clown with a Coat Hanger:
