Anjelah Johnson-Reyes was born and raised in San Jose, California where she grew up with four siblings in a large extended family to which she remains close. She embarked upon her career as a professional cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders at the age of 20 and performed at Super Bowl XXXVII where she was named the "Rookie of the Year." After one year with the team, she decided to move to Hollywood to pursue acting. She began her stand-up career after taking a class on a whim at a local church and realized that she loved it. Just a few months later, Anjelah found herself an internet sensation and pioneer in viral YouTube videos when her notorious "Nail Salon" bit from a local comedy show was posted and received over 100 million views! Shortly thereafter she was added to the cast on the original MADtv where she trademarked her legendary character, Bon Qui Qui. Similar to the nail salon video, the Bon Qui Qui sketch caught on and have been viewed by over 75 million people.
The multi-hyphenates' popularity has translated into six successful comedy specials: "That's How We Do It", "The Homecoming Show", "Not Fancy" and "Mahalo & Good Night", "Technically Not Stalking", and "Say I Won't." She has displayed her acting prowess both on TV and film. Some of her credits include: "Life & Beth", "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Superstore," "Moms' Night Out," and "Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel."
The past 18 months have been busy for Anjelah. She published her first book, "Who Do I Think I Am: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams" (Worthy Books), a hilarious and touching memoir full of memorable anecdotes on how a Latina dynamo was able to forge ahead and become successful. She also was front and center competing on Fox's dance competition show "The Real Dirty Dancing" and performed at the "Netflix is a Joke - Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin: Live Gala" which is currently streaming on Netflix. In addition, Anjelah launched her wildly successful and sold out "Who Do I Think I Am?" standup comedy tour across the U.S. encompassed over 75+ cities across North America.
Over the coming year, Anjelah's book "Who Do I Think I Am: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams" will be published in paperback and she is releasing her 6th comedy special, "Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: Say I Won't" on Sunday, May 14th. She also will be starring Amazon Prime Video's holiday comedy Candy Cane Lane alongside Eddie Murphy, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jillian Bell, Genneya Walton, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Robin Thede, Chris Redd, and Danielle Pinnock.
Anjelah and her husband are expecting their first child summer of 2023 and when not on the road, split their time between Los Angeles and Nashville with their dog, Banzo.
It was a wonderful time. She is my favorite comedian. Literally hysterical i was laughing all night.
Anjelah and Mal were great together. I can't wait to see them again.
Anjelah Johnson- Reyes is hysterical! It was my first time seeing her, and very much enjoyed her humor. I am that millennial-mom. Don’t wait- go see her!
I live two hours away from the venue and traffic on a Saturday night at the DMV is not fun at all. However, all that was forgotten as soon as the show started. The opening act was so much fun, my husband's favorite! I had never seen Anjelah in person, but I have been following her career for years. She was very funny and kept the crown going...to my surprise, she close the show with her bit about the Nail Salon...Hilarious!! Thanks for an amazing way to start my Christmas Season and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Went with another couple to have dinner at Ginger and then watch the show which was filled with laughter. A fan of hers for sure. She did not disappoint. The guys laughed too so I think she did a fantastic job.
A GREAT RELAXING, FUN EVENING. ANJELAH DOES A VERY NICE JOB ... GREAT STAGE PRESENCE.
Anjelah is funny and lovable. The opening act was funny and his take on millennial parenting was hilarious. However the show left me wanting more. It was too short!
We drove from NJ to see Anjelah. Her opening act, Mal Hall, was extremely funny and relatable. Will definitely be checking out his new special! Anjelah was hilarious, as usual. She even did some throw back materia! Anjelah is funny, fun and humble as can be. She really appreciates her fans. Great show!l
This was my first comedian show and I was not disappointed. Anjelah was terrific and funny and I’ve never laughed so much. I’d definitely recommend seeing her in person.
Very funny, as expected. I had a great time and so did my husband
