Jay Light: My Wife Hates These Jokes, the first comedy special presented by Roast Battle League!
In this new special from Jay Light (Roast Battle, America’s Got Talent), he jokes about his new marriage, going to weird weddings, being a sober enabler, looking like every true crime villain, and more. His wife hates these jokes, but I promise you’ll love them.
Jay Light: Growing up outside of conservative Dallas, Texas, Jay Light had to sneak late-night viewings of Comedy Central and Adult Swim with the volume turned low. His parents wouldn’t have approved. Today things have come full circle: He’s appeared on two seasons of Comedy Central insult competition Roast Battle, been named a “local eclectic noise maker” by L.A. Weekly, and praised as “one of the best Roasters in Los Angeles” by no less than Comedy Central mainstay Jeff Ross.
Self-deprecating, slyly dark, and always eager to subvert audience expectations, Jay began his stand-up career as a freshman at North Carolina’s Elon University. As an undergrad he hosted frenetic student TV gameshow Win Stuff and wrote/directed 2011’s Shock Jock, which screened at the Cannes Festival’s Short Film Corner. Follow-up effort Rocketeer received the Sprite Films Competition’s national Viewers Choice Award the following year. Jay’s Media Arts & Entertainment degree came with the Communications department’s high-profile A.J. Fletcher Award, granted annually to “an outstanding graduate…who reflects wide-ranging interest in the field.”
Roast Battle League: Roast battle is like no other comedy show, two comics go head to head in a match of wit and insults. The show is hosted by the founder of roast battle Brian Moses and features a panel of celebrity judges lead by Hall of Flame Roast Battler and Roast Battle League Commissioner Pat Barker. Come check out the next generation of Roast legends from all across the globe right here. Must have thick skin to attend. LET’S ROAST!!!
