Born and raised in the Bronx, Jake Velazquez began performing stand-up comedy in NYC in 2019. The son of a Jewish East Village artist and a renowned Puerto Rican musician, Jake draws humor from his unconventional upbringing, dual heritage, and the edgy, insightful observations that only a lifelong New Yorker could make.
Jake has been featured as one of New York Comedy Festival’s “New York’s Funniest” and “New York Comics to Watch,” and has performed at prominent festivals like Rogue Island and Red Clay. He also has a comedy special on OnlyFans TV as part of LMAOF. Currently, Jake tours regularly, opening for Jordan Jensen.
