Spotlight: Sam Jay has done it all: She's a great stand-up, a prized TV writer (including for "Saturday Night Live"), a sitcom star ("Bust Down") and a talk show host ("Pause with Sam Jay.") You can see her specials on Comedy Central and Netflix. Originally from Boston, comedy has taken her around the world -- and now it's bringing her back to DC to headline our main showroom for the first time.

About the Comics
Stand-up comic and Emmy-nominated writer ("Saturday Night Live") Sam Jay was recently seen on HBO’s "Pause with Sam Jay," a weekly late-night series on which she served as host and executive producer. She also starred in the Peacock series "Bust Down." In 2020, she debuted her first one-hour stand up special "Sam Jay: 3 in the Morning" on Netflix.
In 2019, Sam made her Netflix debut on "The Comedy Lineup" and released her album "Donna’s Daughter" through Comedy Central Records. "Donna's Daughter" was produced by Coach Tea and contains sporadic beats and "skit-like" interludes that make it sound as much like a hip-hop mixtape as it does a standup record. Also in 2018, Sam wrote for The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards and the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Sam’s 2018 TV credits include a recurring role on TV Land’s "Nobodies" and a guest star in Season 5 of Comedy Central’s Broad City.
In 2017, Sam was a standout of the Just For Laughs: New Faces. She was the host of "Ricking Morty," the Rick and Morty post-show on Adult Swim and she was a cast member of MTV’s "SafeWord." Sam made her late-night television debut on ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and her half-hour stand-up Comedy Central Presents premiered in 2017 to rave reviews.
Sam’s television credits also include a part in the award-winning film "Pinsky," Starz’s "Take My Wife," Comedy Central’s "White Flight," "Crank Yankers," and "The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail"; as well as Viceland’s "Party Legends" and "Flophouse."
