35 year old topical comedian Josh Johnson, from Alexander, Louisiana, captured my attention a few days ago on YouTube, but, I suspect many of you were already familiar with his work.  His comedic story "Catfishing the KKK" already has 13M views.

You might be caught off guard by Johnson's self-deprecating humor, followed by a precise chronicling of events as he's obviously well-read, a writer for The Daily Show for 7 years before becoming a correspondent.  Occasionally, he'll remind his audience: "Now, you know I'm Black."

                                   

Johnson refers to 2024 as his "Sophomore Season," has a very interesting take on the psychological impact of the release of the 80,000 pages of the JFK files.

In a very short time Johnson has put out a huge amount of fresh material.  Some of my favorites so far:  

"New York: The Rats Have Personality"

"The Only Way to Survive a Recession"

"I'm Not an Alpha Male"

"Explaining Trump's Executive Orders"

After touring the major cities of the U.S. during 2024 with what he calls "The Flowers Tour," Johnson recently added a number of cities to the tour for 2025:

Paris                                                            Berlin

Antwerp

Amsterdam                                       

Brussels

Albuquerque, NM

Phoenix, AZ

Tucson, AZ

Santa Fe, NM

San Jose, CA

Oakland, CA
