About this event
Being a translator for porn is hard work

Jay Yamaki, a British guy living in Japan, who escaped the cliche of being an English teacher, only to find himself in much wetter territory by being a pornography translator: a hard job, but someone probably doesn't have to do it.

Now the phrase “second coming” means something quite different for a guy who resembles Jesus.

Join Jay Yamaki in his first Australian show as he tackles the topics of mistranslated declarations of love, a coworker obsessed with tentacles, and arguing over how to spell lusty onomatopoeia.

Come see the 2025 world Roast Battle Champion in his first Australian show!

Reviews

"Jay is truly one of the most unique and entertaining voices in comedy. His brilliant writing and loose, conversational style create an act that simply has to be seen." Pat Barker, writer for the Tom Brady Roast

“Jay Yamaki is wildly funny and wildly inappropriate — just how we like our comedy.” Time Out Tokyo

“A fresh voice in the international stand-up scene. Unfiltered, clever, and painfully relatable.” Japan Times
