James Austin Johnson Headlines The Riot Comedy Club

Get ready for a night of masterful impressions, sharp satire, and laugh-out-loud comedy as James Austin Johnson hits the stage at The Riot Comedy Club! A breakout star on Saturday Night Live, James has become widely known for his uncanny, pitch-perfect impressions of public figures—especially his viral takes on Donald Trump and Joe Biden—that have taken the internet by storm.

Beyond the voices, James is a brilliant stand-up comedian in his own right. With a mix of absurdist humor, clever storytelling, and cultural commentary, he brings a unique and refreshing energy to the mic that keeps audiences hanging on every word.

He’s been featured on Comedy Central, HBO’s High Maintenance, and TBS’s The Last OG, and was named one of Vulture’s Comedians You Should and Will Know. Whether he’s skewering politics, riffing on pop culture, or diving into his own strange brain, James delivers a show that’s as smart as it is side-splitting.
