This last year, Jay's Comedy Central hour special "Big Jay Oakerson: Live At Webster Hall" premiered. Filmed at the legendary music venue in New York City providing the perfect heavy metal vibe for the show. Jay's comedy is raw, compelling and honest to the core, as he takes viewers on a journey of brutal truths about his relationship with his teenage daughter, sexual tension between him and his best friend Dave and advise to women on how to delicately handle a man with an unfortunate penis size. His second album with Comedy Central Records, The Crowdwork Sessions: What’s Your F@#king Deal?! Recorded in 2013 live at The Stand, it captures Jay’s raunchy, off-the-cuff essence with a full hour of crowdwork.

Oakerson has hosted 2 seasons of "What's Your F@#king Deal?! Crowdwork & Off The Cuff Comedy" on Seeso. Jay asks the audience to let go of pretension and leave egos at the door as he leads a pack of comics in a completely improvised show based on interactions with the crowd.

Chris Jones, Theater critic at The Chicago Tribune reviewed the show very positively. He wrote, "Great autobiographical comics need a sense of their own ultimate insignificance, and Sweeney, who is now 58, always has enjoyed a rare ability to stand outside her own self and view her own life as no different than any other character. Older & Wider, maybe. Funnier and wiser, for sure. She puts you in mind of monologists like Spalding Gray, minus the ego." Julia Sweeney: Older & Wider will open at The Geffen Theater in Los Angeles in Feb. 2019. See the show here at the Dead Crow first!
