Hmm...I guess laughter IS the best medicine...

Jay Sutay, the hardest-working pediatrician in show business.

"A day without laughter is a day wasted." --Charlie Chaplin

Never let it be said that we at SCSU would waste a day--especially when it's the 2012 Day of Peace.

We are happy to announce the latest addition to the Day of Peace line-up: stand-up comedian Dr. Jay Sutay!

Dr. Jay is not your ordinary stand-up comic. A board-certified pediatrician by day, he began performing as a college student in the 1980s. After completing medical school, Dr. Jay completed his residency in Pediatrics at Hartford Hospital and went into private practice in 1993. He was named a Pediatrics Top Doc by Connecticut Magazine in 2005, 2008, and 2009.

Still, the lure of stand-up comedy beckoned, and Dr. Jay returned to the stage in 2006. Since then, he has performed at venues throughout the northeastern U.S., including The Hartford Funny Bone, the Brew Ha Ha Comedy Club, the Comedy Studio, The Comedy Works, and the Gotham Comedy Club. This past summer, he appeared in five shows at the Comedy Room at the River Palms Casino in Laughlin, NV. Additionally, he was a finalist in the 2007 Western Mass. Valley of Laughter Comedy Festival, and a finalist in the Treehouse Comedy Club's Funniest Comic in Connecticut 2008 Contest.

So make an appointment to see Dr. Jay Sutay at the 2012 Day of Peace on November 29th at the John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts. It'll make you feel better!
