IN CELEBRATION OF BIG JAY OAKERSON’S DIGITAL ONLY COMEDY CENTRAL RECORDS(r) NEW RELEASE TITLED “AN AMERICAN STORYTELLER” BIG JAY WILL HOST JAGERMEISTER TOUR WITH KORN and 2 CENTS AND THEN ON TO HOST ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL… ALL SUMMER LONG!
While not watching MMA or porn, playing video games or drinking Starbuck’s
Iced Chai Lattes, Big Jay Oakerson will bring the laughter to the beloved
metal community on tour nation-wide this summer. Big Jay will first rock
the Jagermeister Tour (Korn and 2 Cents) and then The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival (Korn, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch, Hatebreed, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, Winds of Plague, Atreyu, Norma Jean, In This Moment, 3 Inches of Blood) in between sets by announcing bands, performing his hysterical brand of comedy, as well as, walking around and interacting with the crowd.
Comedian Big Jay Oakerson comes to COMEDY CENTRAL Records with his new full length, digital-only album, “An American Storyteller”. Oakerson’s
story-based style of stand-up comedy got its start after a series of dead-end jobs, including driving strippers and escorts around his hometown
of Philly. Now the New York City resident has made comedy his full-time job,
flooring audiences with true tales of odd threesomes and bizarre sexual encounters. “An American Storyteller,” recorded at Standup New York, is a
one-hour onslaught of unbridled awesomeness and raunchy rock ‘n’ roll
hilarity.
Comedian Oakerson has emerged as one of the most sought after attractions in the industry. Only a ten year veteran, a youngling in the world of stand-up, Oakerson has already performed at two of the most prestigious festivals in the business, the “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival in Montreal and the HBO “U.S. Comedy Arts Festival” in Aspen, CO.
Oakerson is currently starring on the hit IFC show “Z-Rock,” where he
received critical acclaim for his performance as “Neil”, the sexually
ambiguous owner of a NYC rock club. His television credits include COMEDY
CENTRAL’s “Premium Blend” and “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” multiple
appearances on BET’s “Comic View” and P. Diddy’s “Bad Boys of Comedy” on
HBO. Oakerson can also be seen hosting Spike’s “Movies On TAP” with Patrice
O’Neal.
Previously released recordings by COMEDY CENTRAL Records include: Dane Cook’s “ISolated INcident,” Cook’s platinum-selling “Harmful If Swallowed” and double-platinum “Retaliation,” Mitch Hedberg’s “Do You Believe in Gosh?,” Grammy Award-winning, “Lewis Black: The Carnegie Hall Performance,” Grammy Award-nominees’ Steven Wright’s “I Still Have A Pony” and George Lopez’s “American’s Mexican,” Joe Rogan’s “Shiny Happy Jihad”, Christopher Titus’s “5th Annual End Of The World Tour,” Norm MacDonald’s “Ridiculous,” Demetri Martin’s “These Are Jokes,” “Jim Gaffigan: Beyond The Pale,” Mike Birbiglia’s “My Secret Public Journal Live,” D.L. Hughley’s “Notes From The GED Section” and “Strategic Grill Locations” and Dave Attell’s “Skanks For The Memories.”
