Jay Malsky and Jody Shelton bring a hilarious night of country music to Duplex. The show will explore Jay’s transition to womanhood through her love of country music in a cabaret setting.
Jay Malsky (she/they) is a New York based comedian, musician, and writer who has been featured on Comedy Central's The Gag and NBC/UCB's Diversity Showcase. Her running shows at UCB Theatre have included Jay Malsky Slept With My Boyfriend! & The Queerball Sketch Show and she was a member of Pretty Boys on Maude. Jay sold out her run of Elaine Stritch: Still Here at the 2015 New York Fringe Festival. Jay has been called “The Saddest Man in America” by Tucker Carlson, and “The Voice of 2017” by Salon.com for protesting a puppet of Donald Trump at Disney World. Jay's only regret is having Tucker call her a man in print, as she doesn't want to share the article as much post-transition. Instagram @gaymalsky
