Big Jay Oakerson
VIP tickets include priority seating in the first six rows!
Jay’s career spans two decades, starting in Philadelphia as a “comic’s comic” before rising mainstream fame in New York. Constantly touring the country, Jay has been a part of some of the biggest comedy festivals. He has been playing yearly on the hit Vegas sold out festival SkankFest, which Jay helps produce.
Jay co-host's The Bonfire alongside Bob Kelly. He is also the co-host of two wildly popular podcasts Legion of Skanks with Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith and The SDR (Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll) Show with Ralph Sutton both on The Gas Digital Network.
Jay has been featured on This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir, Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, FX’s Emmy winning Louie, Inside Amy Schumer, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien. Longtime fans of Jay’s will also remember him as Neil, the sexually ambiguous owner of a NYC rock club, on IFC’s Z-Rock, and from his appearances on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Comedy Central Presents and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.
Jay’s debut hour special Big Jay Oakerson: Live At Webster Hall premiered on Comedy Central in 2016. Jay's comedy is raw, compelling and honest to the core, as he takes viewers on a journey of brutal truths. His second special premiered in 2018 as part of The Degenerates on Netflix. Jay has also recorded three comedy albums on Comedy Central Records, The Crowdwork Sessions: What’s Your F@#king Deal?! Volumes 1 & 2 which captures Jay’s raunchy, off-the-cuff essence with a full hour of crowdwork; and Jay’s first album, An American Storyteller, a one-hour onslaught of unbridled raunchy rock n' roll hilarity.
Jay released his newest hour, Dog Belly on YouTube already garnering over 1.7 million views. The long-awaited special was executive produced by Ari Shaffir and shot during 2022’s SkankFest.
