Stand Up NY Presents:
SECRET SHOW WELLIE JACKSON

Friday, May 15, 2026

Showtime 8:30 PM, Doors 8:00 PM

Opening Acts: Daniel Vezza, GL Douglas, Nicci Woo

Get ready for a New York powerhouse who pivoted from the basketball court to the world’s biggest stages—a comedic force who’s toured with legends like Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish, headlined the Apollo, and was just named one of the New York Post’s 'Must-See' comedians alongside Jon Stewart: give it up for your secret headliner, the star of the upcoming film Damn Knicks, the incomparable Wellie Jackson!\"

A former college basketball standout, New York City’s own Wellie Jackson has rapidly ascended to become one of the brightest stars in the comedy world through his unique brand of autobiographical storytelling. Since 2011, he has been a mainstay alongside comedy legend Tracy Morgan, performing on over 65 dates of the \"Picking up the Pieces\" tour at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall, while also contributing as a writer to Morgan’s Netflix special Staying Alive and the hit TBS series The Last O.G. Jackson's versatile talent has seen him tour with Tiffany Haddish, headline the historic Apollo Theater, and transition seamlessly to the screen with roles in Orange Is the New Black and Tina Fey’s Girls5eva. Currently a national voice on the syndicated The Deja Vu Show and a recurring headliner for the New York Comedy Festival, Jackson was recently recognized by the New York Post as a \"Top 19 Must-See Comedian\" alongside icons like Jon Stewart and Jim Gaffigan—a momentum he carries into 2026 as the lead in the film Damn Knicks, set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. https://www.welliejackson.com/
