Big Jay Oakerson is seen as one of the funniest people in comedy by many comedy fans, as well as being known as a “comic’s comic”.
Jay’s comedy career spans two decades, and he’s released two comedy specials as well as three comedy albums. He is also the host of GaS Digital’s Legion of Skanks, The Bonfire on SiriusXM, and the recently AVN nominated SDR Show. Big Jay has now released his most-anticipated comedy special.
Big Jay’s third comedy special is entitled Dog Belly and was released April 5th 2023 through YouTube and GaS Digital Network.
The comedy special was recorded during the 2022 Skankfest comedy festival in Las Vegas, and festival attendees waited over an hour for the chance of seeing the special recording.
Dog Belly is directed by fellow hilarious and highly-respected comedian Ari Shaffir, who released the best comedy special of 2022 entitled Jew.
Jay’s comedy special is produced by the GaS Digital team behind countless hilarious podcasts including Legion of Skanks, Real Ass Podcast, and Zac Amico’s Midnight Spook Show. This is GaS Digital’s first endeavor into producing comedy specials, and they’ve got several other specials in the works including a new one from Luis J. Gomez as well as an already recorded crowd-work special from Big Jay yet to be released.
Jay co-host’s “The Bonfire” on Comedy Central Radio Sirius XM 95 alongside Dan Soder Monday through Thursday 6-8pm EST. He is also the co-host of two wildly popular podcasts – “The Most Offensive Podcast on Earth” Legion of Skanks with Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith and The SDR (Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll) Show with Ralph Sutton both on The Gas Digital Network.
Jay’s debut hour special “Big Jay Oakerson: Live At Webster Hall” premiered on Comedy Central in 2016 & was filmed at the legendary music venue in New York City providing 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 filmed in Las Vegas. He has 3 albums on Comedy Central Records, The Crowdwork Sessions: What’s Your F@#king Deal?! Volumes 1 & 2 recorded live at The Stand & The Village Underground that capture Jay’s raunchy, off-the-cuff essence with a full hour of crowdwork. They join Jay’s first album, An American Storyteller, a one-hour onslaught of unbridled awesomeness and raunchy rock n’ roll hilarity.
Oakerson has hosted 2 seasons of “What’s Your F@#king Deal?! Crowdwork & Off The Cuff Comedy” on Seeso. Jay asks the audience to let go of pretension and leave egos at the door as he leads a pack of comics in a completely improvised show based on interactions with the crowd. The atmosphere is loose and no-holds-barred, so you’ll see a side of the performers you’ve never seen before.
Longtime fans of Jay’s will also remember him as Neil, the sexually ambiguous owner of a NYC rock club, on IFC’s Z-Rock, and from his appearances on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Comedy Central Presents and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He’s 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. And he’s a fan favorite guest on Sirius XM’s Bennington (previously Ron & Fez).
