This weekend, Houston is about to experience the comedic brilliance of Big Jay Oakerson, one of the most recognized and revered names n stand-up comedy. From Friday, November 22, to Sunday, November 24, 2024, Oakerson will light up the stage at Houston Improv, delivering his signature blend of laid-back charm, raw honesty, and delightfully dirty humor.
Starting out in Philadelphia as a “comic’s comic,” Oakerson quickly gained a reputation for his magnetic stage presence and relatable storytelling. His journey took him to New York, where he climbed the ranks to mainstream success. Over his two-decade career, Oakerson has left audiences roaring with laughter at some of the most iconic comedy festivals, including Bonnaroo, Moontower, Funny or Die’s Oddball Festival, and the offbeat Gathering of the Juggalos.
Big Jay Oakerson’s shows are a unique mix of rock ‘n’ roll vibes, cutting humor, and unflinching honesty, making each performance an unforgettable experience. This weekend, catch him live at Houston Improv and witness firsthand why he’s considered one of the sharpest comedians of his generation.
A four-time performer at the prestigious Just for Laughs Montreal festival, Oakerson has graced both The Nasty Show and his solo feature, The American Storyteller. Most recently, he’s been an anchor of the sold-out SkankFest in Las Vegas—a comedy extravaganza he co-produces, solidifying his role as a trailblazer in the comedy world.
Beyond the stage, Big Jay Oakerson keeps audiences entertained as co-host of SiriusXM’s The Bonfire, alongside Bob Kelly, airing Monday through Thursday. Fans also tune in religiously to his two hugely popular podcasts: Legion of Skanks and The SDR Show.Both are a testament to Oakerson’s knack for delivering unfiltered, laugh-out-loud content.
On television, Oakerson has made his mark with appearances on shows like Inside Amy Schumer, Louie, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Comedy fans will remember his standout performances on Comedy Central Presents and Premium Blend, as well as his role as Neil, the hilariously ambiguous rock club owner on IFC’s Z-Rock.
Oakerson’s comedy specials showcase his bold and unapologetic humor. His debut, Big Jay Oakerson: Live at Webster Hall, filmed in the iconic New York venue, captured the electric energy of his performances. Netflix audiences were treated to his second special, The Degenerates, which cemented his place among comedy’s elite. Fans of crowdwork will revel in his Crowdwork Sessions albums, while his Dog Belly special on YouTube dives deep into his personal life with stories that are as gut-wrenchingly funny as they are brutally honest.
