Details

Josh Johnson (The Daily Show, Peacock) and Secret Society Comedy transform Bounce Innovation Hub in the heart of downtown Akron into a comedy club for a truly unique comedy experience. We believe that comedy can and should be enjoyed anywhere, so we're using the coworking space inside of an office building as the canvas for an intimate comedy show featuring one of NYC's fastest rising stars, so get your tickets to see Josh before he blows up. Beer, wine, and other refreshments will be available for a suggested donation, but you may BYOB and food. Doors open at 6:30.

Josh Johnson is a stand-up, Emmy-nominated writer, performer, and NAACP award-winner from Louisiana by way of Chicago. He is currently a writer on The Daily Show, and is a former writer and performer on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he made his late-night debut. Johnson is Comedy Central’s ‘most watched comedian ever’ with 40M+ views to date across their platforms.
As a stand-up, Johnson performs at clubs, colleges, and festivals around the world. Johnson was named Comedy Central’s “Comic to Watch” in 2015, a “New Face” at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in 2016, and “New York's Funniest” in 2018.
Comedy Central released Johnson’s first hour-long special #(Hashtag) in June 2021, and he taped his second hour-long special at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles in May 2022, which is set to debut early 2023.
Johnson’s self-released comedy and music mixtape album Elusive, was described by Vanyaland as “live stand-up observational humor with musical compositions. Both elements wade in and out of political and social waters between the two “arcs” of the multi-genre epic". Johnson also co-hosts two podcasts, The Josh Johnson Show (with fellow stand-up Logan Nielsen) and Hold Up (with The Daily Show colleague Dulcé Sloan).
Johnson’s other credits include, CONAN (TBS), @Midnight, Kevin Hart's Hart of The City, The New Negroes, and This Week at The Comedy Cellar on Comedy Central.
Johnson lives in New York and can be seen performing regularly at The Comedy Cellar.
