Letting laughter carry her through the day, Zainab Johnson shares with audiences how interesting everyday life can be, especially when you turn the day’s drama into serious comic relief. Whether she’s performing on stage, writing a script, or acting on screen, Zainab is making people laugh with her own engaging style.
Having moved from New York City to the glitz and grit of Los Angeles, Zainab’s first appearance as a series regular on BET’s “Hell Date” led her to explore comedy in earnest. She is a graduate of The World Famous UCB, the Groundlings and IO West. Zainab has performed improv and sketch comedy with Troop Hollywood and the Black Hand Side. She is a regular headliner at the top comedy clubs throughout the country, from LA to NYC, including The Improv, Laugh Factory, Standup NY, and Caroline’s on Broadway.
