Dallas-born Jay Mandyam was famously “pushed into doing stand‑up” at 19 by a college professor—and the comedy world has been reaping the laughs ever since. His style? A self-aware, story‑driven roast of his own “big mouth,” navigating immigrant life, family quirks, and moments where oversharing was inevitable.

Onstage, Jay has shared the spotlight with comedic legends like Whitney Cummings, Chris Hardwick, Tim Allen—and even idols Christopher Titus and Paul Reiser. He’s toured internationally, bringing his act to India in 2018, and opened regularly for headliners like Russell Peters, D.L. Hughley, and the late Louie Anderson.

On screen, Jay’s chops have landed him spots on HBO’s Silicon Valley, Comedy Central’s @midnight, Modern Family, and Howard Stern’s Wrap Up Show. He’s also a writer—credits include Russell Brand’s TV show, Netflix’s The Fix, and Adam Sandler’s special 100% Fresh. As “Indian Jay,” he appeared nightly on The DL Hughley Show in 2019—and in 2022, he made his late-night stand‑up television debut on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!.

Adding to his creative slate, Jay wrote a sitcom pilot, Failure to Launch, rooted in his Indian‑Texan upbringing—and it’s now up for a College Television Award.

With razor-sharp wit and authentic charm, Jay Mandyam turns cultural candor into comedy gold—get ready for an act that’s as smart as it is side-splitting.
