Morgan Jay

Morgan Jay first built his career in the back rooms and bars of New York’s alternative comedy scene while studying at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Since then, he has evolved into one of comedy’s most distinctive voices, making appearances on MTV’s Wild 'N Out, NBC, and Comedy Central, while also being named a 2023 Just For Laughs New Face.

As a first-generation American with Brazilian and Italian roots, Morgan Jay brings a perspective shaped by culture, music, and personal experience. His unique style took an unexpected turn during the pandemic when an experiment transformed into one of his most recognizable trademarks. “That was a side quest, the auto-tune thing,” Morgan Jay explained. “I sort of just brought it to the live show and people seemed to like it and it just kept growing from there.” The result has become a signature style that audiences instantly recognize. “I can't do a live show anymore without doing the auto-tune because now I'm like ‘the auto-tune guy.’”

Alongside his stand-up success, Morgan Jay has continued expanding into film and television. He recently wrapped production on Love Language alongside Chloë Grace Moretz and Anthony Ramos, appears in Apple TV+’s Stick with Owen Wilson and Marc Maron, NBC’s St. Denis Medical, and stars in the action-comedy Cotton Candy Bubble Gum, which premiered at SXSW 2025.

While his online presence has introduced him to millions of viewers, Morgan Jay often describes his performances as an extension of who he really is. “I think the best entertainers are the ones that can be who they are on stage,” he has said. “I'm trying to not draw a line between myself on and off stage.”
