​​JAYE DEVAN​​​​​​​​​

Originally from Philadelphia, Jaye's youth was shaped by a large extended family and a strict but loving mother. He recognized his ability to make people laugh by the age of 5, and after relocating to the South as a teen, used this talent to gain new friends in an unfamiliar atmosphere. He was cast in the lead role of several comedic plays in his Speech & Drama class and would earn the title of class clown in his senior year of high school.

After joining the Marine Corps, he tried his hand at standup, after being prodded onstage at a base talent show. Taking second place solidified his love for the art of standup and he was soon moonlighting with a fellow Marine, performing at mics and clubs around Southern California. After attempting to balance the transition to civilian life with comedy unsuccessfully, Jaye would step away from the stage in May 1998 but the fire would burn for years to come.

In July 2013, after 15 years and the encouragement of friends, Jaye returned to the stage to pursue his passion for standup. Armed with a bevy of life experience, he sought to provide audiences with a glimpse inside the mind of an 'everyday dude'. Possessing an unfiltered candor and straightforward approach, his comedy consists of stories about relationships/marriage, fatherhood and his observations on daily life.
