This week on the Touchup, Tarryn and Mari sit down with the hilarious and inspiring Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, one of today’s most successful stand-up comedians and actresses.

With six comedy specials and over 6.6M views on her latest YouTube special Say I Won’t, Anjelah opens up about life on stage, staying grounded, and finding gratitude in the chaos. From her early days as a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders to landing her first acting gig as a recurring extra on the set of Friends to starring in hit shows like Ugly Betty, Superstore, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, she’s done it all — with heart, humor, and lashes that could stop traffic.

We talk about:
😂 How Anjelah built a career in comedy that keeps evolving
💫 Her mental health + gratitude podcast Funjelah
🎭 What it’s really like balancing touring & motherhood
💋 Her glam routine on the road
🌎 Her Family Reunion world tour (150+ shows!)

This episode is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt — a masterclass in gratitude, hustle, and humor from one of the most iconic women in comedy.

Enjoy!

See ya later,

BYE💋
