Stand-up comedy show with Big Jay Oakerson at Comedy Works Downtown, a 21+ event with a two-item minimum.
Big Jay Oakerson is playing Comedy Works Downtown in Denver for a run of five shows over three nights, starting Thursday, October 15. He's one of the most recognizable stand-ups working today, known for a laid-back style, masterful crowd work, and an unfiltered, dirty delivery he's been honing for more than two decades.
If you haven't caught him live, you've probably heard him on the radio or in a podcast. He co-hosts the daily show The Bonfire with Robert Kelly on SiriusXM's Faction Talk, and he's a regular on the podcasts Story Warz and Legion of Skanks with Luis J. Gomez and Ari Shaffir. On television, he's appeared on The Roast of Kevin Hart on Netflix, Louie, Inside Amy Schumer, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. His specials include Live at Webster Hall (2016), The Degenerates (Netflix, 2018), Dog Belly, and the 2025 two-part crowd work special Them/They.
Because he leans so heavily into crowd work, no two shows are exactly the same—the set changes based on who's in the room and what happens during the night. If you're a fan of that style, you've got a few different slots to choose from. He opens the run on Thursday, October 15 at 7:30 PM. Friday, October 16 has two shows, one at 7:15 PM and another at 9:30 PM. Saturday, October 17 also has two, at 7:00 PM and 9:15 PM.
