Johnny Lee Dam has been performing comedy ever since he could utter a sentence. As the resident class clown, he quickly developed a knack for comedic timing, something his teachers soon came to regret. Fortunately, it did not stop there. A native of Los Angeles, Johnny began his comedy career in December of 1991. After a six-week class at a community college, he delivered his first five-minute set and was hooked for life! Since then, he has performed in 1 1 countries, 33 states, and even a nudist resort (yes, he was, and no, it wasn't pretty). He has also traveled abroad to entertain the troops. These 30-day tours included traveling into war zones on numerous occasions armed with only a microphone, and, if warranted, the ability to scream like a little girl (his only superpower). If he looks familiar it's because you've seen him most recently on Fox Sports and TMZ Live. Johnny has also starred in a national commercial. He produced and hosted "The DAMage Report," his own 2x award-winning daily radio show in the LA talk radio market. In his spare time, he wrote and directed two short films. His album, "The Painful Truth," recorded back in 2007 (available on iTunes), is still downloaded on a regular basis. Whether he's on the stage or in a chair, you'll most likely find him behind a microphone. His shotgun-like delivery and scope of material has made him a crowd favorite among all ages and demographics... except his parents. Johnny gives the audience what it wants. But beware, Johnny's humor is brutally honest, and if asked to define comedy he will tell you that every joke has a victim, and the only thing funnier than the truth is "The Painful Truth" — available on iTunes
