"Jeff Cottrill not only knows how to draw his readers in, he knows how to shock them... Jeff is not only a clever writer, but an intuitive one."

"What I found so compelling about [Jeff's work is] that each story or anecdote can hit you differently, depending on your own mood and experiences."

"ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SPOKEN-WORD PERFORMERS IN CANADA"
-- TorontoPoets.com

Jeff Cottrill is a satirist, fiction writer, and spoken-word performer based in Toronto. His stage act often uses elements of performance poetry, comedy, theatre, storytelling... even the occasional puppet.

Jeff has featured in dozens of local literary series and toured twice with the Perpetual Motion Roadshow, which brought him to such cities as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Montreal and Vancouver. He has also headlined for shows throughout southern Ontario and the midwest U.S., and he has toured England twice.

He has also written arts reviews, interviews and articles as well as (gasp!) relationship self-help. He is the Literary Editor of Burning Effigy Press and has appeared in The Detroit News, Canoe.ca, NOW, Vu, Exclaim!, The Village Post, OWL, The Richmond Hill Post, Glued, Jagged, Wordsmith, The Independent Weekly and The Varsity.

Jeff has authored three chapbooks of fiction and satirical monologues, Cruelty and Kindness (2002), Karaoke Dogs (2003) and Guilt Pasta (2007), published through Burning Effigy. In June 2005, he released his first CD, Cracktastic!, through Moody Loner Records.
