Thomas Johnson, aka Mr1Four, was born in Harrisburg, Pa, and raised out the south side. He curated his comedy show during COVID by inviting friends to a comedy show in his own backyard for a small fee. Since then, his comedy show has ballooned into something he never imagined. His shows are now held on the old McDevitt football field, and at any time, we will have 4 food vendors, up to 10 merchandise vendors , and plenty of laughs and a damn good time!

Our next guest said he knew at a young age that he always "loved midget baseball and making his money." He began cutting hair for his friends and family by the age of 10, along with having various odd jobs to make money. But by the age of 12, he got involved in the streets, and by 15, he got locked up for hustling. After being incarcerated for 15 months, he came home committed to becoming one of the biggest drug dealers in the city. That led to him being incarcerated again. He ultimately served a total of 9 years in prison over two sentences. While being incarcerated, he obtained his barbering license, and after being released, he opened a barbershop, began investing in real estate, and became a franchise owner of The Hot Dog Factory here in Harrisburg. He says that after losing his son to the streets he once flooded with drugs, he wants to teach and mentor the youth as his way of giving back.
