Big Jay Oakerson at Zanies Comedy Club

Come to Zanies Comedy Club to see the uproarious and outrageous Big Jay Oakerson March 1, and stay at the nerby and affordable Chicago Lake Shore Hotel in Hyde Park!

Comedian Big Jay Oakerson currently has a full-length album, “An American Storyteller” on Comedy Central Records. Oakerson’s story-based style of stand-up comedy got its start after a series of dead-end jobs, including driving strippers and escorts around his hometown of Philly. Now the New York City resident has made comedy his full-time job, flooring audiences with true tales of odd threesomes and bizarre sexual encounters. “An American Storyteller,” recorded at Stand-Up New York, is a one-hour onslaught of unbridled awesomeness and raunchy rock n’ roll hilarity.

Oakerson is recognized from many of his television appearances, most recently on “Comedy Underground with Dave Attell”, ” FX’s “Louie”, “Inside Amy Schumer” & “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” He was also a featured storyteller on Comedy Central’s web series “This is Not Happening.” On the IFC show “Z-Rock,” he received critical acclaim for his performance as “Neil,” the sexually ambiguous owner of a NYC rock club. Past television credits include Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend, ” “Comedy Central Presents” and “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” along with multiple appearances on BET’s “Comic View”, HBO’s “P. Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy.”
