About Jonathan Burns

Comedian Jonathan Burns has been crowned "Variety Artist of the Year" three times, amazed the judges on America's Got Talent, and heard "Absolutely Fabulous" from Penn on Penn & Teller Fool Us. The New York Times called him "Extremely Funny".

Combining comedy, creativity and a love of a live audience, Burns is a crowd-pleaser whose act began in a magic shop the size of a closet inside a pizza shop near his hometown of Johnstown, PA, and grew through dozens of birthday parties, church functions, camps and nursing homes. He has also been seen on The Late Show and The Late Late Show, and describes himself as comedian and life of the party — accolades that have made him one of the most in demand performers in the world.
