Jay Malone has been headlining comedy clubs across North America for the past seven years. In 2009 he shot his own half hour Showtime Comedy Special which will be airing in the spring of 2010. He will be returning to the Just for Laughs comedy Festival this year to shoot his second gala. His first gala came in 2005, the year after he won the National Homegrown Competition, making him the only comic to win that contest and perform a gala the very next year in festival history. In 2005 Jay shot his own one hour nationally televised comedy special "Comedy NOW!" for CTV in Canada, which then led to his nomination as "Best Male Standup Comic" at the Canadian Comedy Awards
