Biography

Acclaimed standup John Heffron shares an array of relatable experiences from childhood through life as a married father. Audiences of all ages relate to his enthusiastic, hard-won wisdom, recognizing how often the path to maturity is marked by universal triumphs and failures. Rather than mock differences, the Detroit native aims to engage, connect, and enlighten.

 

Long before winning the second season of NBC’s hit reality competition Last Comic Standing, Heffron first took the stage at the University of Michigan campus’s Main Street Comedy Showcase, and branched into FM radio, serving as Danny’s  wingman on Detroit’s Number One morning show, Danny Bonaduce and the Q Crew.

 

Along with appearances on The Tonight Show, Chelsea Lately, The Late Late Show, HBO, FX, VH1, A&E, and CMT, Heffron has taped two separate Comedy Central specials and has An Hour Special, Middle Class Funny, on Netflix. John also appears on the Netflix comedy special, Brad Paisley’s Comedy Rodeo, which debuted this summer.

 

Heffron has guested on the podcast WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Ari Shaffir’s Skeptic Tank. He hosts several of his own podcasts including The State I'm In, Heffron and Reep Show, and most recently The Critical 48, a weekly podcast hosted by John and his wife Rie, who discuss what it is like when two people have crazy work schedules and can only meet up each week for about 48 hours.

 

His four albums, Middle Class Funny DVD, and best-selling advice book I Come to You From the Future: Everything You’ll Need to Know Before You Know It are available on iTunes and Amazon.
