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.
Bummin' With the Devil is Johnny Taylor Jr.'s full-length stand-up special, recorded live in Sacramento and released by Stand Up! Records.
Dark, personal, and very dumb in all the right places, the hour follows Johnny through divorce, depression, arrested development, bad self-esteem, worse choices, and the strange confidence of a man who has absolutely no business being confident.
It's a comedy special about crawling out of the wreckage with a joke in your hand and a questionable amount of dignity left.
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.
