A native New Yorker, Jaffe Cohen is an award winning screenwriter, author, stand up comic, actor and educator. His screenplay "Hit and Runway," which he co-wrote with director Christopher Livingston, won "Best Screenplay" at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, Outfest, the Seattle Film Festival and the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, hosted by HBO. Lot 47 Films released the film theatrically in early 2001. His groundbreaking appearance on fox Television's "Comic Strip Live" in 1990 gave him the distinction of being one of the first openly gay standup comedians on national television. His plays include "Elliot Bound" and the highly acclaimed one-man show The King of Kings and I, which Harper Collins published as a comic memoir in 1997. Jaffe also co-wrote Growing Up Gay: from Left Out to Coming Out published by Hyperion. Jaffe appeared James L. Brooks’ As Good As It Gets and Hanging Up, directed by Diane Keaton.

He has appeared on the Joan Rivers Show, Comedy Central and The Howard Stern Show. In 1995 he performed his one-man show, Twelve Angry Women at the Solo Arts Group in New York City. He is a regular performer at Caroline’s Comedy club in New York.
Eddie Sarfaty performs regularly at major comedy clubs in New York City including Caroline's, Gotham Comedy Club and Stand Up New York where he was a winner in their search for the funniest gay comic. He has delighted crowds all over the U.S. appearing at The Miami Light Project's Out Loud & Laughing Festival, The Michigan Gay & Lesbian Comedy Festival, The Phoenix Gay & Lesbian Comedy Festival and The Toyota Comedy Festival in New York.
