Jay Hewlett has issues. He does everything right and yet stuff happens to him. He figures it must be a conspiracy. Like the time he didn’t pay his phone bill. He got letters like, “Perhaps you forgot. “ “Maybe it slipped your mind.” He wrote back: Nope, no freakin’ money. They canceled my credit cards. How do you expect me to pay my phone bill?” See, stuff happens to him. “And I don’t get it,” says Jay. “ I work hard to achieve so little.” Born to a postal worker father and a high school drama teacher mother, Jay has always dreamed of working in the postal / acting profession. Now he is one jacket closer to that dream. You may laugh, and many do, but he has learned to be satisfied with making people laugh. After all, he’s a comedian. And how they laugh.

His comedy / acting career is on a rocket. He was the winner of the Hermosa Beach Comedy Shootout, a recent finalist in the Northern California Comedy Competition and chosen a Best Bet entertainer by the Orange County Register. Jay performs regularly in Los Angeles at the Comedy Store, The Improv and the Ice House. He plays clubs and colleges across the country, and you’ve seen him on Comedy Central’s Make Me Laugh, The Showtime Comedy Club Network,Saved by the Bell, Hang Time ,Touchstone Pictures Krippendorf’s Tribe , the Independent short “Kicking and Screaming” and Fox Searchlights short "The Act" or as the recurring character Phil the photographer on California Dreams. He is also a series regular as Jay the postman on the syndicated comedy Food Rules. This fall Jay will be appearing on "Comic View on BET. Commercial credits include Miller Genuine Draft, Discount Tires, Connecticut Lottery, Disney & Touchstone pictures, Best Buy, Niagara Water, Navistar Trucking and Quantum Hard Drives to name a few.

Even with a Masters degree in Behavioral Science Jay still hasn’t learned how to behave. Like the time he showed up at a postal worker family picnic in a thong bikini. He offended everyone. His response, “ No one told me you had to wear it the other way around”.
