Jayson Cross Stand Up Comedian from New York City, NY

Most recent seen on ,"The View" Born in Chicago. Jayson always possessed a flair for entertaining others. As a child he would mimic his family members and create imaginary characters. During adolescence he was teased and, as a defense mechanism, developed a quick wit. Unbeknownst to him this would be the leading tool for his career. In 2001 Jayson followed his dreams and moved to NYC. He began a career in modeling and acting. He has been photographed for numerous magazines, including FHM, GQ and Details.  He was the April 2006 Playgirl centerfold and has shot campaigns for Kohl's, Budweiser, Bacardi, and Phat Farm. Not just a pretty face, Jayson has also hosted WE Network's 3 Men and a Chick Flick and AMC's Date Night. In preparation for a film audition, he started performing at an open mic night at a local comedy club. Jayson fell in love. He quickly became a Nationally Touring Comedian, opening for such acts as A Taste Of Honey, Richard Pryor Jr., Donnell Rawling (a.k.a Ashy Larry), Aries Spears and, most recently, Kevin Nealon.  He is a regular at the best comedy clubs in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, including The Ice House, Zanies and The New York Comedy Club.  If you are in need of a versatile performer who delivers in any setting with funny, accessible material and an endearing stage presence, Jayson will certainly brighten any event.
