About the Performer
James Austin Johnson is one of the most exciting comedic talents to emerge from Saturday Night Live in years. A featured player on SNL since 2021, Johnson has earned widespread acclaim for his uncanny impressions of political figures — most notably his portrayals of Presidents Biden and Trump, which Vanity Fair called the “best Trump impersonation of all.”
Entertainment Weekly described him as “a cross between Dana Carvey and Darrell Hammond,” and his work on SNL has made him a household name among comedy fans. Beyond impressions, Johnson is a sharp, versatile stand-up comedian with a natural stage presence and a gift for storytelling.
Johnson has also appeared in film and television, including the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! (2016) and the AMC hit series Better Call Saul. His multi-city comedy tour, The Age of JAJ, has been selling out venues across the country — and now he’s bringing the laughs to Philadelphia.
