Anjelah Johnson-Reyes is currently one of the most successful stand-up comics touring today, selling out theaters and clubs across the country. Well, not today, because global pandemic, but today-adjacent. Maxim Magazine hailed the comedian and actress as "uproariously funny" (weird they didn’t write "unapologetically sexy," but okay), and Time Out Chicago described her shows as "filled with almost non-stop laughter."Anjelah, born and raised in San Jose and of Mexican and Native American descent, has guest starred on shows such as Superstore, The Shield, Ugly Betty, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and About a Boy. She has also appeared in such films as Enough Said, Our Family Wedding, and Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, as well as voicing a role in The Book of Life. After a stint as a professional cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, Anjelah became an Internet sensation with her viral video, "Nail Salon." That same year she joined the cast of MADtv as a series regular, which spawned another Internet sensation, "Bon Qui Qui." This original character, a disgruntled fast food employee with no filter, has been viewed by over 85 million people worldwide. Anjelah also released a full album as Bon Qui Qui on the Warner Music label and performed multiple sold out tours. In June 2009, Anjelah recorded her first one-hour special for Comedy Central and Warner Bros. Records titled "That’s How We Do It." Her second one-hour special "The Homecoming Show" aired on NUVOtv in July of 2013 and is currently available on Netflix. In 2014, Anjelah recorded her third hour special "Not Fancy," which is a Netflix original, and is currently available for streaming. In 2017 she filmed her fourth hour-long special "Mahalo & Goodnight" in Honolulu, Hawaii. It premiered on the Epix channel and is now available for streaming on Hulu.
