Jay Oakerson

Comedian Jay Oakerson likes to observe people, and he’s crass. His observations are so spot-on that he says the things you’re too embarrassed to say. Favorite topics include making fun of white people who are rich and wear plaid shorts, hooking up audience members, becoming a king in Ireland and “sugar daddies.” No really, this guy is actually pretty funny. He used to work as a bouncer for a strip club and as a children’s party entertainer — how could he not be a hoot? The show starts at 8 tonight at Hilarities, where he has shows scheduled through Sunday. Tickets start at $23 to $28. (Liz Trenholme)
