CHAPTER 07
THE STORY
Sacramento · Since 2011
Johnny Taylor Jr. is a Sacramento-based stand-up comic, writer, and podcaster with a dark, personal, story-driven style built on bad decisions, honest damage, sharp turns, and jokes that somehow make the worst parts of life feel survivable.
His albums Tangled Up in Plaid and Bummin' With the Devil were released by Stand Up! Records, with Bummin' reaching #1 on the Amazon and iTunes comedy charts. He's toured with Brian Posehn, appeared at SF Sketchfest and Altercation Fest, taught storytelling for stand-up at Punch Line Sacramento, and currently co-hosts The AEW-some Pod.
He is funny about failure, weird about wrestling, and more emotionally available on stage than any reasonable adult should be.
