The Alumni Wall of Fame
Jeff Weyrauch, class of 2001

Jeff Weyrauch was born September 18, 1982 in a small town of Mingo Junction, OH. Growing up with a disfunctional family sure played a big role in developing his sense of humor and the ability to make people laugh. During high school he was in many stage performances and was elected "most outgoing." He graduated from Indian Creek High School in 2001 and attended Jefferson Community College the following year. During that year he realized that he needed to move away to follow his dreams.

In 2002 he moved to Akron, OH to attended the University of Akron and major in Early Childhood Education. During his college career many road blocks were set up for him to fail. All he needed was the courage to get on that stage and make people laugh. He would go to karaoke nights to build up the confidence for his first stand-up comedy performance. March 10, 2007 was when he finally took stage at Max McQ’s in the valley of Akron. And from there is were dreams come true. After only being on stage 3 times doing stand-up he entered the Funniest Ohio Amateur Comedy Contest at the Funny Stop Comedy Club and advanced every round to become one of the three winners in June of 2007 (www.funnystop.com). Since then he has performed in comedy clubs, Universities, bars and private shows all over the Mid-West and Eastern coast. He is now the face of a new website that will be launched in August 2009 called www.bargainsdealsandcloseouts.com.

He just found out that his commercials for bargains deals and closeouts were sold and will be going on national tv and direct tv. He is very excited and hopes all of you will support him and keep on following his career He quotes " I FINALLY DID IT!!!!"
