Comix at Foxwoods Rings in the New Year with 2015 Comix Countdown Tonight

Comix at Foxwoods Comedy Club will welcome the New Year with its 2015 Comix Countdown event, which will be headlined by New Jersey native and renowned stand-up sensation "Big" Jay Oakerson tonight, Dec. 31 at 8:30 p.m.

Come ring in the New Year in style at the 2015 Comix Countdown for a night of drinking, dancing and great times until 2:00 a.m. Guests will enjoy a comedy performance from the provocative storyteller, "Big" Jay Oakerson, followed by the fan-favorite act, Dueling Pianos. The New Year's Eve festivities will also include party favors, a champagne toast and a post-midnight dessert buffet.

Oakerson's story-based style of stand-up comedy got its start after a series of dead-end jobs. Now the New York City resident has made comedy his full-time job, flooring audiences with true tales asinine scenarios and bizarre sexual encounters.

Oakerson is recognized from many of his television appearances, most recently on the hit IFC show "Z-Rock," where he received critical acclaim for his performance as "Neil," the sexually ambiguous owner of a NYC rock club. His television credits include Comedy Central's "Premium Blend, " "Comedy Central Presents" and "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, " along with multiple appearances on BET's "Comic View" and HBO's "P. Diddy's Bad Boys of Comedy."

The past summers for Jay have been busy ones -- he performed stand-up comedy for over a quarter of a million screaming rock n' roll fans by hosting Jager's Korn tour and Rock Star Energy Drink's Mayhem Fest. Jay wowed for a fourth time at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, performing on (and closing) the "Nasty Show" - a festival favorite - and took his performance to a whole new level with the debut of his solo show "The American Storyteller."
