Shows and Seats:

Anything worth having demands hard work and sacrifice. Just ask New York City's hottest superstar-in-the-making, Wellie Jackson. Being a stand-up comedian might have been the last thing on his mind when he was growing up. The former college basketball standout turned to comedy after a season ending injury.

Wellie found comedy while attending college. Encouraged by friends and family, he turned to a friend who was an established National Comedian to help him get his 1st show on the New York Comedy circuit. After his 1st show he was booked for another show at another club where he honed his craft and style.

After making appearances on The Wendy Williams Show, Mtv’s “Totally Clueless”, Sirius Xm Radio and various other media outlets, Wellie was recognized as one of the brightest up-and-coming stars in the comedy world. He has traveled the country with both  Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish.

Wellie, who has toured with Tracy Morgan since 2011, was a part of Tracy's come back tour entitled "Picking up the Pieces". They performed over 65 shows throughout the United States and Canada which included New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Chicago's Civic opera house , and  The Novo Theater in Los Angeles. He went on to be a writer for Tracy Morgan's comedy special “Staying Alive” (currently on Netflix) as well as the TBS comedy series “The Last O.G.” (currently the highest rated comedy series on the network). In 2017 Jackson toured with Tiffany Haddish's " She Ready Tour".

Jackson has headlined at the World-famous Apollo Theatre and can be seen Co-Starring on Orange is the New Black (netflix). You can also spot him on Tina Fey’s show, “Girls5eva”, now streaming on Peacock Tv. Wellie can also be heard nationally as apart of “The Deja Vu show” which is syndicated throughout the country, airing after the Steve Harvey Morning show. Most recently, Wellie made an appearance on Amazon Prime Video's new sports show “Gamebreakers”.

You can catch Wellie starring in the new movie, “Damn Knicks”, which will premier at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.
