Jay Siegan
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of music, comedy, speaking, and magic. In my twenties I managed bands that went from clubs to selling out major venues and private events across the country. I opened the Red Devil Lounge, which became a San Francisco institution for nearly 15 years, and later served as a Curator for the TED Conference, working alongside some of the world’s most influential speakers and thinkers.
I went on to build Jay Siegan Presents into a multi-million-dollar company producing some of the biggest high-end social events and private parties around the world. We’ve booked The Killers, Celine Dion, Coldplay, Andrea Bocelli, Imagine Dragons, and hundreds more. Today, JSP is widely regarded as best-in-class, with a nationwide team of producers and experts delivering world-class events.
In parallel, I launched Super Nice Guys, now the #1 third-party producer of comedy specials in the United States. To date, I’ve produced more than 75 specials released on Apple TV+, Prime Video, and other major platforms, as well as eight full-length magic specials set to be shopped to streamers in 2026.
My work has been featured in The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Robb Report, and even VICE.
With decades of success across the entertainment industry, I bring the perspective of a former venue owner, artist manager, talent agent, television producer, and TED Conference curator. That experience now fuels my consulting work, where I offer direct, practical guidance for artists, managers, event producers, and anyone seeking to navigate this business with clarity and confidence. Sessions are available by Zoom or phone in 25- or 50-minute blocks.
