About this event

A cup of sillyness.

Jay's aunt passed away in a car accident after she swerved to avoid hitting a farm animal. To this day, he asks himself, “Why? Why did the chicken cross the road?”

Join Jay Yamaki, a Brit from Japan, who's determined to remind us of the value of silliness in an increasingly serious world.

Returning to Sydney after his first run of successful shows last year, the comedy world champion (no for real) brings a whole new show to the festival. One to not miss!

you’ve never seen anything like this before Time Out Japan

Jay is truly one of the most unique and entertaining voices in comedy. His brilliant writing and loose, conversational style create an act that simply has to be seen. Pat Barker, writer for NETFLIX comedy roasts

A fresh voice in the international stand-up scene. Unfiltered, clever, and painfully relatable. Japan Times
