Bio
Since leaving his job as an English teacher to become a stand-up comic, Jay Black has achieved an incredible amount of success. On the stage, Jay has headlined clubs across the nation, from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to the Tropicana in Atlantic City and just about every comedy club in between. He also toured extensively in Europe as the host of the US Army's "I Am Strong" tour. He's met with equal success on the college market, performing at nearly 1,000 schools across the country, winning the "College Performer of the Year" award once and the "College Comedian of the Year" award three times. Jay also started writing screenplays with his lifelong friend, Brian Herzlinger, first being signed to a holding deal with both Summit Entertainment and Panay films, then producing a string of successful projects from "Paulie" with Paul Sorvino, "Meet My Valentine" with Scott Wolf, and "Love Always Santa" with Margueritte Morea. Jay started his own film production company during the pandemic, writing and producing several movies for both television and film.
