“A benchmark of intelligent zaniness.” – The Milpitas Post

“A ‘raging optimist’ is how Johnson describes himself and his
comedy reflects his love of upbeat topics and eschews the snarky,
negative tone of many others.” – Solano Daily Republic

“Comedian Phil Johnson tickles crowds with his jocular jams.” – The San Jose Metro

“Phil continued his show with intense energy to the very last joke. His jokes spared no one and spun so quickly at times he would wait for the audience to catch up. ” – The Copper Gazette

Biography

Phil Johnson is a man who gets mistaken for a woman, but only by those not paying attention. That revelation kicks off a battle for self-awareness where comedy and music are the weapons of choice. It’s a battle that has taken Phil to such esteemed festivals as the Edinburgh Fringe and Sundance Film Festivals and the Top 8 Finals of the World Series of Comedy.

“I’ve always been the guy who isn’t quite what people expect,” says Phil. Using that experience, Phil pokes fun at himself, discusses being a white guy at a hip hop show (and the innocent gestures that can get him in trouble), and reveals why Hawaii isn’t the paradise we think it is.

From Shakespearean bees to redneck vampires to anthropomorphic cell phones with weight issues, Phil Johnson fills the stage with quirky characters that combine social satire with absurdist flights of fancy. Then the guitar comes out and kicks the show into an even higher gear with songs about the bright future (and dark past) of babies and dating an actual mythological being.

On stage, Phil’s playful humor and likeable, endearing manner allow him to shake things up without antagonizing the audience. In the end we can only be who we are, try to understand others, and hope they understand us.

What can I say about Phil Johnson… Always…on time, courteous with staff & patrons, goes the extra marketing mile, does his homework and knows the room he’s playing, doesn’t let ego get in the way and…always leaves em laughing & applauding!  David Tribble/ESI & the TribbleRun Comedy Network

Phil is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly how to communicate with an audience and make them laugh…loudly and often. I cannot remember an instance in which he faltered on stage or produced a show that failed to generate an appreciative audience. Phil is a totally committed artist and a resourceful, creative, solution-oriented person who is frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to his comedy routines.  Barry Katzmann – San Francisco Comedy Day

I have booked Phil many times to perform for many different kinds of audiences. He’s always able to deliver a high quality professional show in a refreshing and different way that pleases the audience. Having worked with many comics over the years, I’ve found Phil to be one of the easiest to deal with. He’ll do whatever it needs to be done to make a show successful and then deliver on stage.  John Dekoven – Bunjo’s Comedy Lounge – Dublin, CA
