Comedian Johnny Beehner Comes to Thrasher Opera House on Jan. 27
Green Lake, Wis. (December 26, 2023) – Johnny Beehner puts on a good, clean show that will leave you in stitches. He gives you everything you want from a comic: silliness, likeability, and a whole lot of fun. He’ll perform at the historic Thrasher House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Saturday night, January 27, at 7:30 p.m.
With a background in improvisational theater, including training at Chicago’s prestigious Second City and the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles, Johnny brings a unique style to the stage. He made his network television debut in January 2015 as one of the last comedians to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman. He has also made numerous appearances on FOX’s Laughs and AXS’s Gotham Comedy Live and regularly appears on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show. His comedy can be heard regularly on XM/ Sirius Satellite radio.
Charlie Kojis will join Johnny. Charlie Kojis has been performing stand-up comedy since 2014, during which time he has been described as “this generation’s Charlie Kojis.” Combining his life experiences and general fears, Charlie blends traditional joke telling with his own personal narrative. His dry delivery leaves audiences both laughing and wondering if he is as okay as he pretends to be. Based in Madison, WI, Charlie performs throughout the Midwest and has performed in the Flyover, Limestone, and 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festivals, among others. He has opened for comedians who include Tig Notaro, Nate Bargatze, and Michael Che and was the winner of Madison’s Funniest Comic Competition at Comedy on State in 2016. He released his debut comedy album and special, A Normal Amount of Pain, in May 2023.
Tickets for the show on January 27 at 7:30 p.m. are $30 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
