A little about Jonnie...

In a world where more and more people are choosing to stay home and binge-watch their entertainment, Jonnie W. represents an anomaly — an artist whose show needs to be experienced LIVE. Combining music, off-beat standup, and a skewed view of the world unfolding around him, Jonnie crafts a comedy experience that you and your family will be quoting in the car on the way home. He's brought the funny to stages in 48 states — from comedy clubs to Fortune 500 compaies, churches and leadership conferences. Jonnie's award-winning comedy is played daily on Sirius XM Satellite Radio, and his two Drybar Comedy specials are viral hits, garnering millions of views, and landing him in their Top Ten Most Viewed.

He has also been featured on the Grand Ole Opry's Circle Network and recently joined comedian Nate Bargatze on his nationwide "Be Funny Tour". Jonnie lives with his wife Curry near Nashville, TN, because that's where all their stuff is.

— Once in a generation, someone comes along with the power and eloquence to inspire us all. Jonnie W. will entertain us while we wait for that person. Entering the comedy scene with nothing more than a guitar and his razor-sharp wit, he has gone on to entertain audiences nationwide.

The Stroede Center for the Arts is supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
