From the streets of New Orleans comes the wit, humor and extreme stage presence of Jay Gates. At age 19, while attending Old Dominion University, Jay discovered his talent for making people laugh and decided to take it to the stage. After running an improv show for 3 years and performing at various venues around the area, Jay took his show on the road and has since been booked at clubs from New York’s Times Square to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and even Hawaii, with comics such as Dane Cook, Lewis Black, Dave Attell, Eddie Griffin, David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Aries Spears, Henry Cho, Kevin Meaney, Dave Mordal, Jim Wiggins, Jake Johannsen, and Brett Leake.
Jay’s award-winning writing and acting has been recognized and featured on HBO’s Project Greenlight, Maxim Magazine Online, Kevin Spacey’s Triggerstreet.com, The 48 Hour Film Project and the Hawaii Funny Fest. He’s appeared as an actor on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, TLC and in the upcoming sitcom pilot SUBS, and the feature films ADRENALINE and CHASING VENGEANCE. His new comedy music album features STAR WARS SONG, which hit 1 on the American Idol Underground Charts in 2007. Jay’s comedy will be broadcasted to homes all over England by NRE this year, and stages across America as a part of the HOLLYWOOD OUTLAW TOUR. Forever committed to entertaining the masses at any means necessary, “never stop writing” is Jay’s motto and “never stop performing” is his mission. With a little bit of time and a whole lot of gas money, Jay Gates looks forward to performing in a town near you.
