Big Jay Oakerson is one of the most beloved and easily
recognizable comedians working today. His laid-back style and dirty delivery
are the signature marks of his comedy. 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 including
Moontower, Bonnaroo, RockStar Energy Drink's Mayhem Fest, Gathering of the
Juggalos, Funny or Die’s Oddball Festival. He has wowed audiences at the
prestigious Just For Laughs Montreal festival an impressive four times, both on
The Nasty Show and with his solo show, The American Storyteller. Most recently,
he has been playing yearly on the hit Vegas sold out festival SkankFest, which Jay
helps produce.
Every week, Jay co-host's “The Bonfire” alongside Bob Kelly

Happening” with Ari Shaffir, “Comedy Underground” with Dave Attell, FX’s Emmy

Jay’s debut hour special "Big Jay Oakerson: Live At
Webster Hall" premiered on Comedy Central in 2016 and was filmed at the
legendary music venue in New York City to provide the perfect heavy metal vibe
for the show. 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 and filmed in Las Vegas. Jay has
also recorded 3 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.
This year, 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. In this
special, Jay dives deep into his own life, ranging from his own sexual
insecurities to being called a Nazi as a Jewish man.
