K Jay The Comedian

An outstanding comedian with a great sense of humor and very entertaining with comedic chops for all levels of people. Also, a very versatile artist with inspirational poetry mixed with comedy my act is playful and fun. You can expect jokes that poke fun about life experiences raising kids, trying various diets and being tall and failed NBA dreams. It’s my job as an entertainer to be positively funny but also keep it light hearted. The enjoyment I get from seeing people laugh and enjoying themselves is beyond any discription I can give you. The goal is to be very good at performing so you will want to have me back. I’m talented enough to handle private events with hosting duties or being the headliner. Having over a decade of experience helps me with the wisdom to keep an audience engaged and entertained. Simplicity can do an event wonders with a great personality and fun loving energy. You can go wrong with a talented act.
