I'm getting more personal and more nuanced with the conversations I’m having while still leaving it open for everyone to find themselves in it, too.-Sam Jay samjay pausewithsamjay bustdown
In her 2020 Netflix standup special 3 in the Morning, comedian Sam Jay tells a story about taking ‘shrooms and going to The British Museum. “I walked in and I was, like, ‘Holy shit!’” she says. “Because it was wing, after wing, after wing of stuff and…I was, like, ‘Wow! White people stole all this shit! Stole so much shit! That’s crazy. They stole everything in this motherfucker.’ The audacity! That’s the real word to describe white people. Not racist. Audacious.
“We just wanted to make something really silly and we didn’t want to think about anything besides the jokes and what was making us laugh at the time,” says Jay of developing Bust Down. “It’s really a labor of love done with my closest friends in comedy for the last five years.” Now that the second season has premiered, Jay tells me she is eager to dive deeper, not just on the show, but with her career as a whole. “I talk about my brother going to jail, my fear of death, and losing my mother young,” she says of her new, ongoing mission to share more of herself than ever before. “I’m getting more personal and more nuanced with the conversations I’m having while still leaving it open for everyone to find themselves in it, too.
