He’s a man with a mission and no mission at all. He’s in tune with the times and out of tune with everyone. He’s a guy who thinks goals are for goalies. He does everything right and yet stuff happens to him. He figures it must be a conspiracy—like the time he thought he was killing it at the slots in Vegas only to realize he was putting dollars in the bill changer.
See, stuff happens to him. “And I don’t get it,” says Jay. “I’ve worked hard to achieve so little.” Born to a postal worker father and a high school drama teacher mother, Jay has always dreamed of working in the postal /acting profession. Now he is one jacket closer to that dream. You may laugh (and many do) but he has learned to be satisfied with making people laugh. He is, after all, a comedian at heart. And how they laugh!
His comedy/acting career has been a busy one. He appeared on Comic View on BET, Comedy Central, Showtime, the Boston Comedy Festival, the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals, the Sunscreen & AOF Film Festivals. Jay performs regularly in Los Angeles at the Irvine and Brea Improv, the Ice House and El Camino Real Playhouse. He headlines regularly in Los Angeles at the Irvine Improv, the Brea Improv as well as clubs and colleges across the country, yet still makes time to entertain the troops on tour with Armed Forces Entertainment.
