Alan is a successful young advertising copywriter in New York who has long harbored aspirations of becoming a standup comic. When his live-in girlfriend Cassan suddenly breaks up with him, he quits his job and launches into an over-analytical pursuit of the ideal relationship and the perfect career by sampling many of each. Alan attempts to plot his life on a grid where the X-axis represents relationships and the Y-axis, careers. The more grid points, the more informed he will be. At point 2,4 he's a journalist dating a young party girl in Key West; at point 3,1 he's single and drinking with Elden Lewis, a quirky barstool philosopher, sounding board, and best friend. Alan soon befriends quasi-famous NYC comedian Lutsey Lampkin, who pushes Alan to focus on his comedy aspirations. Through it all, Alan contends with youthful angst, lovesickness for Cassan, and a decidedly humorous yet spastic worldview.
Jeffrey Allen amassed seven W2s in a single year shortly after graduating college, which helped spawn the idea of the Perfect Everything. He has experience in stand-up comedy, newspaper reporting, and a litany of creative and professional ventures. He maintains a renaissance passion for writing and plans to author novels in several genres. Mr. Allen was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, and currently resides part-time in the West Village of Manhattan.
