Zainab Johnson
Zainab Johnson grew up in Harlem, New York. She studied math and planned to become a teacher, but eventually moved to Los Angeles to become an actress. There she was introduced to comedy, and decided to try stand-up herself by Googling open mic nights in Los Angeles. Her first performance at Amsterdam Cafe in North Hollywood was an instant hit, and in 2019 she made Variety’s list of 10 Comics to Watch.
After her breakthrough as a semi-finalist on the eighth season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, roles in the series Upload and Avant-Guardians, among others, and a job as host of the Netflix reality show 100 Humans, Johnson released her positively received comedy special Hijabs Off on Amazon Prime in 2023. With her hilarious take on culture and religion, inspired by her background as one of 13 children in a traditional Muslim family, Zainab Johnson’s fan base continues to grow.
