    Jay Pharoah rocks!

    by lulu1823 on 4/28/14Wilbur Theatre - Boston

    This guy is about more than just his celebrity impersonations you see on SNL. His jokes are freakin' hilarious and he kept the audience captivated for the entire show. Yes he did throw some impressions in there (jay z, katt williams, denzel), and to hear them live was insane! But as I said, this dude is funny without all that. And he showed his appreciation for the audience by filming a video for instagram at the end of the night! Loved every minute!!

    Jay Pharaoh is a hilarious dude!!

    by JayWasGreat on 4/26/14Wilbur Theatre - Boston

    This guys is definitely underrated. I was glad to see him this early in his career, I think his future is bright! He did a great job of mixing comedy bits with his trademark impressions. I can recall him doing: Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Steven A Smith, Shaq, 2 Chains, Lil Wayne, Drake, Denzel Washington, and some more that I've forgotten. I would definitely recommend this guy!

    Jay Pharoah was very funny, charming

    by adrillew on 8/28/11Wilbur Theatre - Boston

    As expected, he doesn't just do voices as he's been pigeonholed on SNL. He is multifaceted multitalented and terrific. don't miss the opportunity to see this very funny guy.

    Jay Pharoah - incredibly talented

    by JonesNation on 8/22/11Wilbur Theatre - Boston

    Unbelievable ability to impersonate many different people and incorporate it into a stand up act. He kept it entertaining throughout and had our entire table rolling. I'd highly recommend seeing this guy and seeing how talented his impression skills are.

    Very funny, and not just impressions!

    by WhinyMcGee on 8/22/11Wilbur Theatre - Boston

    Having enjoyed his limited work on SNL, I wanted to see what Jay Pharoah's stand up was like, and it turned out to be quite funny. While there were a plethora of impressions (his Denzel Washington is fantastic), he also did bits about his life as well, which was very entertaining.

    Jay Pharoah was hilarious!

    by cbwilson25 on 8/21/11The Wilbur Theater - Boston

    Jay Pharoah was so funny in person! While integrating many of the impressions he has done on Saturday Night Live into his set, his non-impression material was even better. He did a great job of mixing impressions, including a few great musical blurbs and pieces, and typical stand-up jokes with setups throughout the show. Additionally, he interacted with the audience, without being mean or discouraging, a rarity for most comedians. He stayed after the show shaking hands and taking pictures with anyone who waited, and showed gratitude to all in attendances with a genuine feeling of sincerity. I have been to over 10 stand up shows in the past year, and Jay's is one of 2 that I can absolutely say, "I would love to see that comedian again, in the near future."
