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.
Anjelah Johnson is truly gifted at storytelling…pulling you in so you “live” it with her! Loved that she doesn’t need expletives to seek a laugh. We took the whole family! It was our second time, and we plan to see her again, when she returns to the ATL!
Best show ever very funny love her! It was soo fun had to buy merch!
The show was great, had a wonderful time Anjelah is hilarious. The Venue was great it was easy to get in. The only downside was the purse issue I had a very small purse and still didn’t meet the size expectations so it had to go to storage was a bummer because I had to purchase a big clear backpack which didn’t make sense to me if I really didn’t have anything in my small purse besides a wallet holder and my lipstick.
My wife and I went out on an Adult date to get away from being parents for the night. BEST decision ever!!! This show was amazing! Haven't laughed this hard in such a long time. I was getting a rash under my eyes from wiping the tears coming out from laughing so hard! Even the guy that opened for her was hilarious. Would go see her again in a hearbeat! Thank you so much Anjelah!
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes is adorable first of all! Her energy is contagious and so positive! I really enjoyed her show! Me and my bestie went to celebrate her birthday and just because we both love her and she did not disappoint! I would definitely see her show again. She is so talented and hilarious!!! If you haven’t been to one of her shows then I encourage you to go!
She was connecting to the audience. She made sure we followed her journey as resident of a new state. I’m still laughing about her performance. Her best friend prior to coming out was extremely funny.
She is so funny every show we have seen of hers is absolutely hysterical. Can’t wait for the next one.
Had a great time; had great seats and she was hilarious. Thanks for a great time!!
It’s terrible that Thunder Valley Avenue has access doors to use, but won’t use them to allow people in or out. Instead they make you go through the casino in and out. Then it creates a cluster in the walkways and near the bathrooms. Not a great use of the accessibility of the venue when there are doors just outside of the venue. Terrible process
Angelah Johnson is always awesome, very funny and entertaining . This is the 3rd time seeing her in Sacramento. First when she was at the Punch Line, than Crest Theater and now at Thunder Valley. Glad to see she is getting more popular that she needs bigger places to perform.
Anjelah kept the laughs coming. The entire night was comedy at its best. The opener Mail Hall was hilarious. Can’t wait until the next time.
What I love the most is Anjelah doesn’t need to be talking dirty or cussing to be funny. Her comedy is clean. She is down to earth and knows how to be funny. Hopefully I can see her again.
Honestly the material was not enough to keep me interested or humor me. I think my wife and I asked each other about 20-25 minutes into the show, "This is not very funny?" Kinda regret getting the tickets.
Anjelah was on point and pregnant about to pop! Her comedy is so relatable and clean you really dont need a bunch of cuss words to laugh! I wish it lasted longer but the fact she did the nail salon joke last was the icing on the cake. I could listen to that all night! Wish she had come out as BonQuiQui for a short skit.
She was fantastic! Even though she is obviously pregnant she had energy and spunk!! Great show. I will be watching for future shows!!
Unless you're in a wheelchair or have a walker showing your disabled ID card won't get you through the Ada line. Great show great Acoustics great venue hard to get out from the second floor after the show is over
She was one of the best comedians ive seen so far.Loop
Non-stop laughs. Anjelah rocked the house. Can't wait to see her again!
Anjelah"s humor had us all in stitches from the moment she stepped onto the stage. We also enjoyed that she had two openers for her and they did a wonderful job entertaining us too. Overall, it was absolutely fun
Anjelah always makes me laugh. She’s probably my favorite comedian. Always worth the money.
