Take the silly seriously and make the serious silly” is Grace Johnson’s comedy motto. Named one of the New York Comedy Festival’s 2023 Comics to Watch and 2024 New York’s Funniest, Grace is quickly establishing herself as a rising voice in comedy. A 2023 Bell House Newcomer, she’s opened for stand-up staples like Patton Oswalt and Jay Jurden, performed as a finalist at the Big Sky Comedy Festival, and been featured digitally on Don’t Tell Comedy.
Offstage, she’s a voice actor and writer. Grace was a series regular on the Apple Top 50 Comedy Podcast The God Pod and contributed in the writers’ room for CBC Gem’s Virgins!.Unapologetically Black and proudly nerdy, she calls her brand of humor “Glasses Comedy”—inviting you to see the world through her lens.
