Jay-R is a Texan who has been trapped in Michigan for almost a decade. Jay-R identifies as a BBB which stands for "Big Back Bandit", but not to be confused with Mr. Steal Your Girl. His wild on stage material will take you down a path of laughter and passive aggressive guilt. His love of big backs and the vertically challenged will test your moral compass around every corner as you look around to see if it's OK to laugh. Prepare to be taken on a roller coaster of politically incorrect banter while attempting to guess what ethnicity Jay-R actually is.
