Hey nerds. This week, I am joined by the mighty Jay Light.
Jay has been doing comedy for almost a decade. He is from just outside of Dallas, Texas. Jay moved to LA from North Carolina in 2011. He landed a job with Flappers in Burbank, where he worked in the box office. Jay moved from Flappers to The Comedy Store in Hollywood as a door guy after a couple successful appearances on Potluck.
Since those early days, Jay has achieved quite a lot. He should be very proud and probably is, but he comes across as genuinely humble, friendly, and straight up kind. Jay has appeared on Comedy Central's Roast Battle and Not Safe with Nikki Glaser. He has also been on HBO's Project Greenlight. Jay even opened for Dave Chappelle. But we don't waste time talking about any of that...we talk about his early days, a bit of the struggle and move quickly into his religious background.
Jay has been on quite the spiritual journey. He grew up in a conservative Presbyterian household. Jay left the faith he grew up with and has since turned back to believing in a higher power after going through AA. Really, Jay is about being a good person by being true to what he feels is right and positive.
He's fantastic. Find him online at www.jaylightcomedy.com. Follow him on the Gram at @dietjay. And check out his podcast Blockbusting, where Jay interviews comedians about Hollywood news and their taste in cinema.
