Jeff Solomon

Jeff Solomon is an actor/comedian/musician based in New York. He studied acting at Stella Adler, composition at Cornell and improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade. He is a co-founder of Elephant Larry, an award-winning sketch comedy group that has performed in every major US city and created videos for CollegeHumor, YouTube NextLab and Broadway Video's Above Average Network that have accrued over 50 million views. His TV work includes Orange Is The New Black, Deadbeat (directed by Troy Miller, Arrested Development), Person Of Interest, the new ABC series Forever and sketch comedy appearances on VH1, MTV and G4, as well as commercials for American Express, McDonald's, Virgin Mobile, Bing, Wall Street Journal, Google, Comedy Central and ESPN SportsCenter.

Solomon is also an experienced mixologist who teaches seminars and consults to develop unique recipes for new cocktails. Epicurious featured him on "Method Mastery" where Solomon taught viewers how to make 50 classic cocktails. His background in comedy makes his tutorials incredibly humorous in addition to being educational. You're bound to leave with a few new recipes, or at a minimum a good story to tell.

Fun fact: When Solomon was five, a pelican in the Montreal Zoo reached over the bars of its cage, stuffed Solomon's entire head in its mouth and tried to yank it off.
