Comedian Jeff Oskay

He claims he just stopped throwing up before shows about five years ago. What?!

Comedian Jeff Oskay says:

I got on stage for the first time the week I turned 30. I was horrible. My jokes were good. My writing was good, but I had never performed before, and that was atrocious. I would shake and sweat profusely. It was not good. It was funny, but not for the reasons I wanted it to be funny. It became a goal of mine that I was going to win this. I didn’t care how many years it took, I was eventually going to get good enough that someone would pay me to emcee. That was my goal, and it took four years before I ever emceed, and things went rather quickly after that.”

Fast forward to today and he’s bringing his “egg game” and making us laugh with no problem. You can catch Jeff at Morty’s Comedy Joint tonight and tomorrow at 7:15 and 9:45 p.m.

Did you know? Oskay worked plenty of other jobs before becoming a stand-up comedian a decade ago, including assistant manager at an envelope manufacturing company, stock broker, the proprietor of a short-lived coffeehouse and restaurant kitchen manager.
