Johnny Beehner is simply magical, he puts on a very funny show. That’s all there is to it. He has been performing stand-up comedy since 1999. He can be heard on XM/Sirius Satellite radio, he’s been on the Bob and Tom nationally syndicated radio show multiple times, and he is a nationally touring comic hauling his jokes from town to town.
Johnny started his comedy career putting on his own shows in Milwaukee during his college years. He spent the summers between school years pounding the pavement in the comedy world of New York City, and then Los Angeles. With a strong background in improvisational theater throughout all of college, including training at Chicago’s prestigious Second City, Johnny brings a very unique show to the stage. His shows have been described as “silly,” “smart,” “fun,” and “hilarious.”
Johnny centers himself as the butt of most of his jokes with tales of growing up an awkward, tall, skinny middle child in a huge family. He is currently traveling the country proudly telling thousands of complete strangers what an idiot he is and explaining exactly why that is. He has been seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Late Night with David Letterman and can be heard on XM/Sirius Satellite radio, and is constantly traveling from city to city across the country making people laugh.
