About Us

Res Dogs

Jeff Baker is the finest stand up comic you'll never see. The reason for this is he hates travelling almost as much as he hates people.

You might be lucky enough to catch him on stage if you frequent South Wales comedy clubs or failing that, you can see him in the videos he makes for the frontpage of Cracker Ass Comedy, but other than that you've got no fucking chance.

We asked Jeff a few questions for the 'about us' section of Crackerass so you can get to know him better.

Question: Why did you start the site?

Jeff: In the completely misguided belief that I could make a living from comedy without having to travel to places like Burnley on a wet Wednesday night for £30 to tell an audience that I hate them and everything they stand for.

Do you have a team of writers/researchers on Crackerass?

No, I do most of my own stunts here. Dan Mitchell and Neil Bebber send a podcast across once a week, Dean Burnett chucks a review over once in a while and the Androdgynous Scotsman Billy sometimes does the camerawork but that's about it. Of course, I do get a lot of suggestions for articles, shows etc via email from fans of the site and an awful lot of hate mail from seemingly derenged members of the public which I occasionally publish if it's particularly stupid.

Isn't that the donkey from Shrek in your website's logo?

Yes, I believe so. I just stole the first image of a donkey I came across in a google image search. Legal threats may be sent to the usual address.

You get a lot of hits on the site and I've noticed you have google ads on your front page, you must be rolling in money?

While crackerasscomedy.com does recieve a great deal of hits for a low budget comedy site, nobody is foolish enough to actually click the adverts which is how I would make any money. In fact, in the last 8 months I have made a grand total of $52 (yes, dollars) through using google adsense. I wouldn't recommend this line of work for anyone who wants to make a profit since it costs me more than $52 a year to host the site. Live and learn, eh?

Is it OK for other people to link to crackerasscomedy.com?

Feel free. If you want us to return the favour, you'll have to give us a shout at the usual address.

How often do you update the site?

I try to update once a week and I try to aim for a Friday but it doesn't always work out that way due to either laziness, drug habit or most likely both.

Do you accept donations to help fight the good fight?

Stupid question. Donations are gratefully accepted, please contact me at the usual address.
