Brandon Johnson Host
Brandon Johnson has been entertaining crowds with his brand of stand up comedy for 11 years. For some time before that he was affectionately known as "Pittsburgh's #1 Superfan" amongst other stand up comedians for seemingly always being at their open mics and shows. Known for his distinct laughter in the crowd and informed opinion amongst the comedians, he engendered lasting friendships amongst the other comedians. In 2013 he went from fan to performer doing his 1st stand up set at the Beerhive in Pittsburgh. In that time since he's hosted for Steve Byrne ("The Opening Act", "Sullivan and Sons", TBS, Netflix, Showtime) at the Pittsburgh Improv.

He's performed on the comedy stage at Millvale Music Festival (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023). He’s performed corporate show at Oglebay Resort in West Virginia.

He's entertained multi ethnic rooms with his unique observations on sports, pop culture, race, single life, and workplace customs. From 10 to 90 and all ages in between he's entertained both intimate crowds and those of over 200 customer sellout comedy clubs. Mostly clean and irreverent, he's a comedian on the rise and looking to leave all future crowds better than they were before the show.
