Jay Black: Comedian. Writer. Podcaster. Believer in the Oxford Comma.

Welcome to the official home of Jay Black, a nationally touring stand-up comedian and screenwriter from New Jersey. A former high school English teacher, Jay traded lesson plans for punchlines — and hasn't looked back since. He's earned the title of College Comedian of the Year three times, performing at nearly 1,000 universities nationwide before taking his act to clubs and theaters across the country.

Off stage, Jay wrote and produced films for Hallmark and Lifetime (yes, those movies your mom loves) including Love Always, Santa and Psycho Storm Chaser. Whether he's headlining a club, doing a corporate event, or appearing on Showtime, NBC, or FOX, Jay brings the same thing every time: a guy who clearly should have stayed a teacher, and is very glad he didn't.
