Zainab Johnson at the Addison Improv

Zainab Johnson is a stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. She is quickly being propelled as one of the most unique and engaging performers on stage and screen.

Zainab’s comedy is based on her unique point-of-view, which was shaped growing up in Harlem as one of thirteen siblings in a black Muslim family. After getting a degree in Education and Math and taking a job as a teacher, she quickly learned that she had a different calling...

Zainab debuted her very first one hour comedy special “Hijabs Off” on Amazon Prime Video, is currently a series regular on the Amazon Original hit series titled "Upload" from Greg Daniels, she is one of the hosts for Netflix's show "100 Humans", and starred as Dr. Hanniel in the brilliantly written web series Avant-Guardians. She made her first late night stand up appearance on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and had breakout appearances on HBO’s All Def Comedy, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and has performed at the JFL Comedy Festival in Montreal first as a "New Face of Comedy", then as "Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch".
