Comedy Mothership presents Sam Jay

Sam Jay headlines Comedy Mothership on Saturday, August 15, at 10 PM. She's a stand-up comic who's spent as much time writing for others as she has on stage, and this is a full set of her own material.

If you're coming to her from the TV side, you probably know her as a writer for Saturday Night Live, where her work earned her an Emmy nomination. That writing background carries over into her stand-up—she's a sharp, observational comic who builds her sets around the kind of specific, dry observations that land better when you're paying attention. She also has a Netflix special under her belt, so if you've only seen the clips, this is a chance to see how the full hour holds up live.

It's a late show, too. The set starts at 10 PM, which puts it in that sweet spot where the room is already warm and the energy is high. If you're not used to the late-night comedy crowd, it's a good one to keep in mind when you're planning your night.

The show is at Fat Man at Comedy Mothership - Complex in Austin, Texas 78701. Sam Jay is the sole headliner on the bill, so you know exactly who you're coming to see. The set kicks off at 10 PM on Saturday, August 15.
