About
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.

by MOjo1205 on 1/23/12Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaThe show was Amazing, That's all i can say cause i don't wanna spoil it for you. Anjelah's act was ridiculously funny but her opening acts...i didn't really connect with. All in all it was pretty good clean fun.
Rating: 3 out of 5by EscherSketcher on 1/23/12Buckhead Theatre - Atlanta I like Anjelah and own her DVD That's How We Do It. However seemed this performance was a little lazy. On top, the bulkhead theatre was too hot and we could barely see the performer. Maybe I went to her show with high expectations, but I was a little underwhelemed by the show. And another strange thing, it seemed there were a lot of older couples in the audience who barely cracked a laught. Not sure why they came to a comedy show to hold in their laughter. Venue 3/5 Performance 3/5

by SpiritedDiva on 1/23/12Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaThis girl is too funny! Excellent show! She covered a variety of topics - including her wedding, Bon qui qui and several other things! Loved it!!
Rating: 3 out of 5 Great night of laughs!
by SCtoATL on 1/23/12Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaThe show started later than 9:30 which I will never understand why that happens. But once it began, it moved right along...no time between acts. The two opening comedians were pretty funny. Anjelah has new material which was entertaining. I knew from reading other reviews she wouldn't do her signature material, which was truly missed. Her new stuff is funny but to be honest if she didn't have the cult following from her Bon Qui Qui and Nail Salon stuff, she might just be your average comedian. Glad we went but probably would not go see her again. A note about the theatre...we arrived about 8:40 for a 9:30 show. There is a bar inside and thought we could go and sit and have a drink before the show. NOT! We had to wait until the early show let out and ALL the people had exited before we could enter the building. Found this rather annoying.

by JJordan3825 on 11/8/11Uptown Theater - Kansas CityShe was fabulous - very funny. Went there with my 3 daughters hoping to hear Bon Qui Qui and Tami from the nail salon, but heard instead some GREAT new material. There was a little Bon Qui Qui and Tami, but her new material is very funny. Her t-shirts are AWESOME, CD is stupid funny & she has a few other items that are worth the $. An evening my daughters and I laughed, laughed, laughed. Very good time. Love her, love her, love her. Funny, Funny girl... sorry dog :)

by CrystalGel on 11/8/11Uptown Theater - Kansas CityHer show was worth every penny. I laughed hysterically from the very beginning and had an awesome experience overall. The theatre itself was not my favorite, and we got stuck next to two completely obnoxious women who kept saying "She's not funny. I don't understand why everyone's laughing, she's not funny". So thankfully our entire section pressured them to leave and they did. Security was of no help to us in that regard. But we had an excellent time other than that!
