John Hefferon Biography

The American comedian John Heffron was born in 1970 in Detroit, Michigan. Heffron got his start on the comedy circuit while still attending Eastern Michigan University; it was not unusual for him to forgo his classes to instead perform stand-up at various venues in the area, and so after graduation, John began touring the college comedy circuit, clocking in nearly one hundred performances in a year.

The approach was hugely successful; by the time he’d reached his mid-20’s, Heffron was well-known to the college and twenty-something crowd. When he was twenty-five, John began working as a sidekick to Danny Bonaduce on his morning radio show, remaining with the Detroit-based station for five years.

After leaving the station, Heffron returned to California and has since become well-known for his standup on television programs such as The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Comedy Central Presents, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2004, John Heffron’s career got a recent boost after he won the second season of the reality competition show, Last Comic Standing. He followed his success with the release of the comedy CD Good Kid, Bad Adult (2005) and has since also released The Better Half (2006) and Kid With a Cape (2007.)

John Heffron is still enjoying a career on the rise, and he is definitely a comic to watch in the near future. Heffron is also the entrepreneur behind That Guy Game, a board game which sends its participants on a scavenger hunt for men. There’s a rumor that a television pilot based on the game may be in the works in the near future.
