Summary

Your interviewer didn't really grasp the American term to "murder" a room, until he caught Sam Jay's set at SXSW Comedy earlier this year, in which she smashed the audience senseless with her unique perspective on race, sexuality and society. A breath-taking combination of unerring confidence, hammer-blow punchlines and genuine insight will see her reaching incredible heights in comedy. We talk about Boston, LA and New York, and why she has no time for comics who want to be adored.

1:06.9	how incredible I think Sam Jay is she is one of my very favorites and she has, oh just everything, she's the complete package and
1:16.1	more that you weren't expecting. She's just brilliantly funny, totally engaging, genuinely
1:22.1	has something to say and she's got punchlines on top of punchlines on top of punchlines in a completely fresh perspective,
