JAKE JOHANNSEN
June 13, 2008
 
We’re always looking for a good laugh, and Jake Johannsen is just the guy for that. Join us for an evening with your friends and colleagues for a drink or two, some good times and relaxation. Check out one of his routines.
 
A native of Iowa, Jake Johannsen spent three years at Iowa State University dabbling in Veterinarian Science and Chemical Engineering before moving to San Francisco to try his hand at comedy. Jake sought to make his comedic mark on the city at a time when San Francisco was fostering the likes of young talents such as Bobcat Goldthwait and Dana Carvey. Jake made his own comedy debut during an open mike night at San Francisco’s Cobbs Comedy Club. Four years later, in 1986, he won the 11th Annual San Francisco Stand-up Comedian Competition.
A raconteur of weird stories, it is no wonder why Jake is one of David Letterman’s favorite comics. With over twenty-nine Letterman appearances under his belt (not to mention a handful of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and PoliticallyIncorrect gigs) Jake is no stranger to late night television.

His late night appearances gave Jake the exposure he needed to land the 10th Annual HBO Young Comedian’s Special, a _ hour One Night Stand, and his very own HBO Comedy Special, This’ll Take About An Hour. Jake received incredible reviews, strong ratings, and a Cable Ace Award nomination for best writing in an Entertainment Special. People Magazine rated the special as one of the ten best television shows of the year and TV Guide named it one of the “50 Funniest Moments of TV.”
 

Jake is also making his mark on the feature world. This fall Jake appeared on the big screen next to Bruce Willis in the Alan Rudolph film, Breakfast of Champions. Jake first worked with Rudolph on the film, Mrs. Parker & the Vicious Circle, in a cast that included Mathew Broderick, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Campbell Scott. 

Jake’s bizarre take on life and his uniquely intelligent style have made him a regular at comedy clubs all over the country and former host of Comedy Central’s Two Drink Minimum. Most recently, Jake was at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen where he performed his own hour live show, to rave reviews. More information is available at www.jakethis.com.
