about.
Originally from North Dakota, Jeff Burleson has performed on stages throughout the Great Plains, from Minneapolis to Albuquerque. He earned his degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and spent over a decade with Everybody and Their Dog, Oklahoma’s longest-running improv troupe. It was there that he began writing sketches and screenplays, combining his love of storytelling with his unique comedic timing.
Jeff launched his career as a writer and performer in the Central Plains, eventually moving to Dallas in 2013. Over the next decade, he worked on major stages in the Metroplex, building a reputation for his dynamic presence and creative voice. In 2023, he traded cowboy boots for sandals and relocated to sunny south Florida.
A proud member of the Dramatists Guild, Jeff currently serves as Program Coordinator for the Department of Theatre at Florida International University.
Favorite roles include Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing, Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Tom in Fat Pig. He lives in Miami with his wife, Olivia, their dog, Enzo and occasionally he updates his website.

“Jeffrey Burleson was wonderfully inept and overly macho as Dogberry, the leader of the watch who exposes the plot."
Mariah Reed,
FLORIDA THEATRE ON STAGE
"Jeff Burleson...makes one squirm with discomfort as he self-righteously hurls comments that clearly convey a man with little respect or understanding of marginalized communities."
Shari Goldstein Stern
WHITE ROCK WEEKLY
“Jeff Burleson
also appears.”
