Sam Jay is a stand-up comic, actor, and Emmy-nominated writer known for her sharp wit and boundary-pushing humor. She currently hosts and executive produces HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for her HBO special Salute Me or Shoot Me. Sam recently appeared in the Kenya Barris-directed film You People alongside Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and co-created the Peacock series Bust Down. A two-time Emmy nominee and WGA nominee for her work on Saturday Night Live, she also served as the “Voice of God” announcer at the 2022 Primetime Emmys. In 2023, she was honored at the BET Her Awards and was a standout at Netflix’s Roast of Tom Brady. Her acclaimed Netflix special 3 in the Morning and her earlier appearances on The Comedy Lineup and Stand Out: An LGBTQ+ Celebration have solidified her as a leading voice in comedy. Named one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch in 2018, Sam continues to break ground with fearless, culturally sharp comedy. Originally from Boston, she now lives in New York.
Commonwealth Comedy Club is Cincinnati’s home for exquisitely curated live entertainment. Each week we bring you hilarious stand-up comedians, intimate concerts, unique theater productions, live podcast recordings, and so much more.
Commonwealth Comedy Club is housed in the recently renovated, historic former Tower Methodist Church, originally built in 1914. It is no longer a church! Rather, we have converted the purpose of this beautiful old building to bringing you exquisitely curated live entertainment. We have, however, gone to great lengths to preserve the original character of the building while updating for it’s new purpose. We retained all the original stained glass windows and custom-built, curved pews.
We have added a full concession stand with draft beer and wine, as well as many canned drinks, including cocktails. We partner with local Dayton, KY business Kate’s Catering for our prepared food options. We have added full lighting and sound systems, as well as a complete broadcast-quality video system for recording events and live podcasts. We are exclusively partnered with Third Rule Media to produce our recorded content.
