Jay Jurden: Yes Ma’am, I Moved to New York and Got Gayer

Описание: Connie and Lina sit down with comedian Jay Jurden to talk about finding your people, owning your voice, and getting laughs without leaving your identity at the door.
They get into Jay’s journey from Mississippi to New York, his first stand-up set at a gay bar, and the Eddie Murphy performances that helped shape his comedy. Along the way, they unpack masculinity, celebrate Black queer comedy, and give the genre’s overlooked queer roots their flowers.
Also on the table: his Hulu special Yes Ma’am, his “Nothing Special” tour, and the gender rules we absorbed as kids, when even the toys had a dress code. There’s a Ken doll reveal. Big laughs, real history, and multitudes. 💅
