Get ready to laugh all night long when Last Comic Standing semi-finalist Zainab Johnson takes the stage at the Arlington Improv on Friday, October 9. With a resume spanning BET's Just For Laughs Festival, the Arsenio Hall Show, and headlining slots at top clubs from LA to NYC, Zainab brings her sharp, everyday-life humor to East Arlington. Settle in with steaks, wings, or pizza at this fan-favorite comedy club known for its lineup of top-tier talent and lively atmosphere.
From the organizer
Zainab is a Last Comic Standing semi-finalist and has performed at the 2014 BET Experience at LA Live and the world famous Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. She has also appeared on Comic View, the Arsenio Hall Show, and Gotham Live. Letting laughter carry her through the day, Zainab Johnson shares with audiences how interesting everyday life can be, especially when you turn the day’s drama into serious comic relief. Whether she’s performing onstage, writing a script, or acting on screen, Zainab is making people laugh with her own engaging style. Having moved from New York City to the glitz and grit of Los Angeles, Zainab’s first appearance as a series regular on BET’s “Hell Date” led her to explore comedy in earnest. She is a graduate of The World Famous UCB, the Groundlings and IO West. Zainab has performed improv and sketch comedy with Troop Hollywood and the Black Hand Side. She is a regular headliner at the top comedy clubs throughout the country, from LA to NYC, including The Improv, Laugh Factory, Standup NY, and Caroline’s on Broadway.
