Comedian Danny Johnson headlines on Feb. 23. His hilarious, family-friendly stand-up comedy has entertained audiences in comedy clubs, corporate events, and churches nationwide for more than 15 years. His comedy style has been described as a cross between Jerry Seinfeld and Jackie Gleason. Johnson’s show is relatable, entertaining, and always evolving. He has appeared in the NetFlix series Cobra Kai – Season 4, Comcast/NBC’s Laugh-off, and Comedy Central’s Laugh Riots. His hit Dry Bar Comedy Special has millions of views across a variety of streaming platforms and social media. Johnson has also shared the stage with Chris Rock, Bob Saget, Billy Gardell, Richard Lewis, Norm McDonald, and a host of others.

Comedian Carl Guerra headlines on March 1. His stand-up career began in the New York metro area. He honed his craft at Dangerfield’s, The Comic Strip, and The Improvisation comedy clubs. Guerra also performed on the nationwide college circuit and TV shows such as Star Search and Evening at The Improv. Presently a resident of South Florida, he performs regularly in comedy clubs, country clubs, at corporate events, and on cruise ships. Guerra’s been the opening act for artists such as Patti LaBelle, Joan Rivers, Julio Iglesias, Paul Anka, Debbie Reynolds, George Benson, Ray Romano, and Rosie O’Donnell. He entertains audiences without relying on profanity or sophomoric humor and instead uses clever observations, improvs, characters, and guitar.

Comedian Dylan Vattelana will open for Danny Johnson on Feb. 23. Comedian Bill “Bull” Ohse will open for Guerra on March 1.

Florida Rep’s Friday stand-up comedy nights will continue through Season 26; upcoming event dates and featured comedians to be announced soon. For tickets or more information visit floridarep.org.
