A post shared by Alex Mendoza (@dozaphoto)The 2024 Queerties Awards are almost here! Hosted by drag superstar Jinkx Monsoon on March 12 in Hollywood, the night is going to be one for the books as the LGBTQ+ community honors excellence in media, sports, athletics, literature, and more.
We caught up with Queerties nominee Jay Jurden ahead of tomorrow’s big night. The award-nominated comedian, writer, and actor hails from Mississippi, but calls the bright lights of New York City home.
Since arriving in the “Big Apple,” Jurden’s performed standup comedy on multiple late night shows, including The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch in 2022,” and is a staff writer for Apple TV+’s Emmy-nominated show The Problem with John Stewart.
