Jay has been performing comedy since 2005 working all over the UK as well as in Los Angeles and Toronto. An experienced compere and stand-up Jay has an easy manner on stage, instantly connecting with her audience - whether a rowdy group of stags and hens or a serene ladies luncheon Jay’s quick wit has them eating out the palm of her hand. The girl next door persona allows her to get away with the darker jokes that punctuate her material. With comedy described as chocolate covered hand grenades, don’t be mistaken this girl can melt butter - sometimes by using a flamethrower. Clever material delivered with effortless charm and packing a bite every bit as bad as its bark. An experienced writer and performer Jay has worked on a number of hit BBC Scotland and BBC Four radio shows and is a regular guest on Radio Scotland´s Breaking The News. Jay also secured a part on Season 2 of The Comedy Unit’s hit BBC1 show Scot Squad.
Her recent Fringe show ´Besom´ garnered 5 star reviews. One review said ´The material she offers is beautifully observed, delightfully written and delivered in a cheery inclusive manner, but beware that angelic smile, there is a wee bit of devil lurking behind it.´
