Jelly Roll Hits Stand-Up Stage With Hilarious Nsfw Act At Netflix Is A Joke

Jelly Roll Takes on Comedy

Country music sensation Jelly Roll made a surprising turn to comedy, debuting a rib-tickling stand-up routine at the Netflix Is a Joke festival. The Grammy-winning artist took the stage at Los Angeles' Greek Theater on May 8, 2026, delivering a ten-minute set that had the audience in stitches. Known for his soulful tunes, Jelly Roll's comedic chops took center stage as he tackled personal topics, including his recent weight loss journey.

"I think the last time I was this nervous I was in front of the parole board," quipped Jelly Roll, referencing his past legal troubles and new lease on life after a pardon in 2025. His self-deprecating humor was a hit, especially when he joked about finally being able to see certain parts of his anatomy after losing weight. The crowd roared with laughter as he likened his newfound view to a "little Labubu doll."

Musical Interlude with a Twist

But Jelly Roll wasn't just there for laughs. He also treated the audience to a musical number, teaming up with comedian Andrew Schulz for a rendition of "Friends in Low Places." The pair's karaoke-style performance, accompanied by Tony Hinchcliffe on drums, added a unique flavor to the evening. "I stood up here for 10 minutes and embarrassed myself and tried to tell jokes. But I was not afraid," Jelly Roll told Schulz, before inviting him to sing along.

In a true testament to the festival's spirit, comedy legend Jeff Ross joined the stage for an unforgettable mash-up performance of "Folsom Prison Blues." Known for his roasting prowess, Ross brought his signature humor, pretending to die on stage during the song, much to the delight of the audience. "Look at this. We're putting the trailer park in Griffith Park tonight," Ross joked, capturing the night's eclectic mix of music and comedy.
