NEW ALBUM RELEASE FROM CANADIAN COMEDIAN JEFF MCENERY: DENIM STRAITJACKET
[Toronto, ON October 2023] Born from a newly single and slightly unstable Jeff McEnery, DENIM STRAITJACKET was recorded live at Yuks Yuks’ Flagship Club in downtown Toronto, where the Ontario comedian did his first stand up set over twenty years ago. The album’s 11 Kentucky fired tracks boast a hilarious mix of blue-collar comedy and raw truth about mental health. McEnery says “DENIM STRAITJACKET is all about the small-town jokes I’ve become known for, as well as stories about my recent Epilepsy and Social Anxiety Disorder diagnoses. I’ve never written more personal material.”
Letterkenny fans will immediately recognize Jeff McEnery as Alexander on the CTV hit show, however McEnery established himself first as one of the fastest rising stars in stand-up comedy when he won the prestigious Tim Sims Encouragement Award, shortly followed by YukYuks’ $25,000 Great Canadian Laugh Off and Best Stand-Up Newcomer at the Canadian Comedy Awards. Since then, Jeff has made multiple appearances at every major Canadian comedy festival including the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival and Halifax Comedy Festival.
Cottage Comedy Digital Producer, Tyler Morrison, compares McEnery’s DENIM STRAITJACKET to a “stand-up version of Letterkenny meets One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. Its rare to find this type of honesty in palatable comedy that connects to every day working class people.”
