Fat Jay: From Long Island Stages to Stand-Up Stories | Stand-Up Memories #24

Every local comedy scene has that one guy who feels like he’s been everywhere, seen everything, and somehow has a story about all of it. On this episode of Stand-Up Memories, Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter Bales sit down with Long Island comedian Fat Jay—a larger-than-life personality with a sharp sense of humor and a lifetime of comedy stories tucked under his belt. Fat Jay has been grinding it out on stages across Long Island and beyond, bringing his unapologetic style, street-smart observations, and quick punchlines to audiences who like their comedy real, raw, and hilarious. Whether he’s talking about the insanity of everyday life, the characters you only meet in New York, or the strange road of being a working comic, Jay delivers it the way only a seasoned stand-up can. In this episode, the guys swap stories from the trenches of stand-up comedy—club gigs, wild audiences, life on the road, and the unpredictable moments that only happen when a microphone, a spotlight, and a room full of people collide. It’s loose, funny, and exactly what you’d expect when three comics start reminiscing. Expect laughs, unexpected stories, and a few moments where you realize the best part of comedy isn’t just the jokes—it’s the journey getting there. 🎤 Stand-Up Memories is where comedy history, backstage stories, and real conversations with legendary and rising comedians come together. #StandUpMemories #ComedyPodcast #LongIslandComedy #FatJay #JackieMartling #PeterBales
