White Rock Yuk Yuk's Comedy Night, 6 April | Event in White Rock | AllEvents.in About the event White Rock Yuk Yuk's Comedy Night
The White Rock Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Night series, produced by Yuk Yuk’s Surrey, is gearing up for its fourth show of the 2023-24 season, and local comedy enthusiasts are in for a delightful surprise. Rising cross-Pacific sensation Sophia Johnson is set to headline, offering audiences a taste of her comedic brilliance as she prepares for her much-anticipated headlining theatrical debut in White Rock.

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Johnson is not just a comedian but also a versatile actor who made the leap to Vancouver in 2018, drawn by the city's comedy and acting scene.

"Vancouver's dynamic comedy and acting scenes as well its beautiful scenery lured me here on a whim," shared Sophia Johnson. "Canada has significantly influenced my comedic style, pushing me to elevate my performances in a highly competitive, yet collaborative environment."

Before making Vancouver her home, Johnson made waves in New Zealand, gracing prestigious stages like the New Zealand International Comedy Festival and the Dunedin Fringe Festival. Meanwhile, Johnson has showcased her comedic acting chops on Netflix's "Ash vs the Evil Dead" and CW's "Legends of Tomorrow." Her star continued to rise with invitations to the renowned Just For Laughs Vancouver festival, where she also contributed to the "Best of the West" album recording in 2022. In 2023, she made her TV debut with a stand-up taping for "New Wave of Stand Up," now available on demand with CBC Gem.

As Johnson's career trajectory soars, she embarks on the upcoming multi-city tour, "Queens of Comedy," alongside other prominent Canadian female comedians, and is set to record her debut comedy album in Victoria later this spring, while also contemplating her next move in her homeland of New Zealand.

Reflecting on her journey, Johnson remarked, "...performing comedy and acting in Vancouver has been transformative, opening doors I never thought possible. From sharing the stage with my idol Maria Bamford to exploring new recording opportunities, Vancouver has been instrumental in shaping my career. Now, with the pandemic behind us, I'm eager to start exploring the world again.”

Joining Sophia Johnson on stage will be a stellar lineup, including host Shane Clark, feature act Ryan Williams (recently named one of Just For Laughs' "New Faces Canada" in Montreal), as well as comedians Melanie Rose and Ray Morrison.

"We've had our eye on Sophia Johnson for some time now, captivated by her unique blend of humor and confident stage presence," shared Garry Yuill, CEO of Icarus Capital/Yuk Yuk’s Media. "Her recent headlining successes at Yuk Yuk’s Surrey confirmed what we already knew: she's a comedic force to be reckoned with. We're thrilled to showcase her talent to a broader audience as part of our 2023-24 season lineup in White Rock."
