HBO Original Comedy Special SAM JAY: SALUTE ME OR SHOOT ME Debuts September 23rd.
In her first HBO stand-up special, comedian and writer Sam Jay takes the stage at Brooklyn Steel for a hilariously frank discussion on embracing our differences, the stresses of long-term relationships, and the power of empathy. Newly engaged, Jay gets candid about life with her future wife and the unknown stresses of being “the man,” the grim reality of trash day, and more.
Deftly showcasing her conversational style, SAM JAY: SALUTE ME OR SHOOT ME is a witty rumination on life’s challenges as well as society at large – ultimately urging us to have empathy for one another in spite of our differences.
SAM JAY: SALUTE ME OR SHOOT ME is written, performed, and executive produced by Sam Jay; co-executive produced by Kara Baker and David Martin; produced by Jackie Stolfi; and directed by Linda Mendoza.
