A professional poker dealer, a radio personality, a singer, and a successful stand-up comedian all walk into a bar….and the crowd says “Hey, Johnny B”. Unlike most comedians, you have to check their schedules and find out when they’ll be on stage.
The home-grown comedian, he grew up in Tampa and attended Hillsborough High, makes his presence felt regardless if he is headlining his own stand-up shows or entertaining his loyal fan base of #Bholes. Wherever you see or hear him, he’s usually bringing a sarcastic, quick-witted approach to everyday topics. Sometimes he’s touting politically incorrect opinions, sometimes he’s pointing out the absurdity of current events, sometimes he’s laughing at someone’s stupid decisions and sometimes he’s breaking into song. Whatever it is, you’re probably laughing your ass off while he’s doing it.
Over the past 18 years, Johnny Bell has been entertaining comedy crowds around the country with a style that can be considered aggressive, logical, offensive, and level-headed all at the same time. It’s easy to simply get on stage and say controversial things, but Johnny attacks absurd life experiences–especially his own– with a critical eye that finds humor from different angles. He’s a dad, he’s been divorced and he’s dealt cards at the World Series of Poker twice, and all of those perspectives make for hilarious observations on stage that keep crowds laughing.
When Johnny B isn’t behind the microphone at a comedy club–he’s shared the stage with comedy greats such as Mitch Hedberg and Ralphie May–he’s behind the microphone for terrestrial radio: As the winner of Cox Media’s “Tampa Bay’s Got Talent” search, he can be heard on 102.5 The Bone FM in the Tampa market.
Johnny B Uncensored is a no holds barred podcast hosted by Johnny B and a stable of hilarious cohosts. Insanity meets relatable logic and you can join more than 120 countries downloading this show every week.

But wherever he is, people are definitely listening (and laughing) as his stories, rants, and observations make for a unique comedy experience. Catch him next at Mickey Quinn’s Irish Pub in Seminole, FL on Friday, August 31, 2018, at 7:00 PM.
