How do you rediscover pleasure after 23 years of military service, a medical discharge, and a diagnosis of complex PTSD?
Obviously… you make things worse by becoming a stand-up comedian.

Jay shares how he’s turned trauma into titters, pain into performance, and self-loathing into audience laughter. With brutal honesty and sharp humour, he explores mental health, recovery, and the absurdity of trying to heal while holding a microphone.

Accompanied by his partner (not his pet), Hawke, Jay takes you on a funny, moving, and ultimately hopeful journey that proves life is worth living — no matter the pain you’re carrying or the disability you’re battling.

They say laughter is the best medicine, so come and get your dose. By joining Jay and Hawke for an evening of laughs, you’re not only boosting your own wellbeing, but supporting Jay’s recovery and helping other wounded veterans find their way forward.

“A really skilled stand-up comedian”
“Hoots of laughter and howls of delight”
“Very relatable”
— Paul Levy, Fringe Review
