MORE ABOUT THE ACT
MORE ABOUT THE ACT
Jeff Japers performs comedy songs accompanied by a slideshow. It's an entertaining performance of inoffensive daftness including songs about wires and the missing junction on the M4 amongst many others. He delivers his songs with an energy perhaps unbefitting of a man his age.
Jeff plays a mixture of stand up gigs and ukulele gigs.
He has performed at the Green Man Festival, Uke-A-Bay Festival, Ukulele Festival Of Wales, Cwmaman Music Festival, Velvet Coalmine Festival, Grand Northern Ukulele Festival, Bracklesham Ukulele Festival, Shrewkfest and has more in the pipeline for this year.
