Two words: Nail Salon.
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes joined Nikki & Spicoli Mornings Friday and where she wrote that bit was, uh, unexpected. Smash that PLAY button!
It has come full circle for comedian, actress and author Anjelah Johnson-Reyes whose comedy career was ignited after her ‘Nail Salon’ stand up bit went viral on YouTube over a decade ago. That video has received more than 200 MILLION views and continues to grow as a fan favorite. Anjelah’s 6th stand-up comedy special, “Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: Say I Won’t” brings it all back to where it started on YouTube.
The special, fully financed, produced, and owned by Anjelah, was shot at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in her new home of Nashville, TN as part of her recent 100+ show sold-out theatre tour.
“I’ve been doing standup comedy for 16 years which is half of my life! And then add 8 more years, sure. Of all my hour specials, I’ve had the most fun touring with this current hour of material!” Anjelah shares of her first comedy special on YouTube. “I’m so proud of, Say I Won’t,” and the work I put into writing, performing, and producing this special. What a full circle moment to bring it to YouTube where it all started for me. Can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
This year the comedian will co-star opposite Eddie Murphy in the Amazon Prime holiday film, Candy Cane Lane, and in Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth’s season two on Hulu.
