Laughs and much more from across the pond.
Welcome to Live In London, a stand-up comedy documentary in which Sam Jay experiences the people and rich culture of the UK while processing the pure madness that is America.
Sam Jay: After years of working in an office and as a music manager, Jay performed her first stand-up comedy routine in 2012, at the age of 29. In 2017, she joined the writing staff of Saturday Night Live, becoming the first black lesbian writer in the show’s history and the second black lesbian to be involved with the show overall (after performer Danitra Vance joined the cast 32 years prior). She co-wrote the “Black Jeopardy” sketch. In 2018, she performed stand-up on Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup and starred in a half-hour stand-up special for Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents. Jay’s first stand-up comedy release was Donna’s Daughter (2018), which was made available as audio-only. Her other work includes appearances on Take My Wife (2016–2018) and stand-up performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and at 2017 Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.
