Big Jay Oakerson

**Big Jay Oakerson** is the stage name of Jason Michael Oakerson, a Philly-born comedian (December 7, 1977) who's been killing it in stand-up for over two decades with his chill vibe, filthy jokes, and killer crowd work. He ditched college after a month, hustled as a driver for strippers and kids' parties, then hit the road opening for Dave Attell and even Korn before headlining everywhere from Just For Laughs to Skankfest, which he helps run.

These days, Jay's dropping specials like *Dog Belly* (2023, YouTube), the epic two-parter *Them/They* (2025, YouTube), *Live at Webster Hall* (Comedy Central), and albums such as *The Crowd Work Sessions* and *An American Storyteller*. Catch him co-hosting *The Bonfire* on SiriusXM with Robert Kelly, or podcasts like *Legion of Skanks* with Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith—he's also popped up on *Louie*, *Inside Amy Schumer*, *Z Rock*, and flicks like *Hustlers*.
