Big Jay Oakerson is a widely beloved and instantly recognizable comedian known for his laid-back style, raw honesty, and famously dirty delivery. Starting as a “comic’s comic” in Philadelphia before rising to prominence in New York, he has spent over two decades touring nationally and performing at major festivals including Just For Laughs (four times), Bonnaroo, Moontower, Oddball, Mayhem Fest, and SkankFest—an annual sold-out Vegas festival he also helps produce. Jay co-hosts The Bonfire on SiriusXM with Bob Kelly and is a driving force behind two hit podcasts on the Gas Digital Network: Legion of Skanks and The SDR Show. His screen credits include This Is Not Happening, Comedy Underground, Louie, Inside Amy Schumer, late-night appearances, and memorable roles on IFC’s Z-Rock and multiple Comedy Central programs. Jay’s standup catalog includes his 2016 hour Live at Webster Hall, his 2018 Netflix special The Degenerates, and three Comedy Central albums showcasing his masterful crowdwork and raunchy storytelling. His newest special, Dog Belly—released on YouTube and produced by Ari Shaffir—has already surpassed 1.7 million views, featuring deeply personal, brutally funny reflections on his life.
