6 out of 5 stars!

If we could give 6 out of 5 stars we would! We hired Jay to be a MC/Comedian/Judge for a VIP cooking event and he was amazing! We definitely recommend him, and plan on using him on future events.

Brilliance !

Jay was a great addition to our holiday program. He was on time, very cordial But most of all gave a performance that guest were talking about hours after his show ended. His comedy was very sharp and relative to the times and the crowd. There wasn't a dry eye in the building. I would book Jay for future events we do. N

Jay Washington is a solid comedian who can handle any room.

I have booked Jay Washington several times over the last couple of years. Jay is a fantastic comic, that I am comfortable putting in any show.
