PASO ROBLES, Calif. – February 18, 2025 – It’s been a transformational few years for stand-up comedian, actress, author, and podcaster, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, whose comedy career was ignited after her ‘Nail Salon’ stand-up bit went viral on YouTube over a decade ago. She wrapped up a sold-out 100+ show stand-up comedy theater tour across the United States, self-produced and financed her 6th comedy special – Say I Won’t – at the historic Ryman Auditorium which racked up over 5.9M views on YouTube and counting, and most importantly, she became a mother for the first time.
With all this momentum at her wings, she’s embarking on her “The Family Reunion” global stand-up comedy tour, which spans 150+ shows in major theaters across the world in 2025-2026. The show, which will play at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Saturday, August 2, offers a brand-new family-friendly hour of stand-up comedy, in which Anjelah finds herself at an exciting crossroads – moving towards a new season in her life as a mother and family matriarch. She joyfully frames her relatable new hour of comedy around diving headfirst into motherhood in her forties, while interweaving stories about the most important people in her life — her husband, daughter, family and friends.
“Family reunions are all about coming together - laughing, eating, drinking, catching up, and remarking on how everyone has changed – and that’s exactly how my shows feel,’” says Anjelah. “You all truly feel like family to me – you’ve been with me since the start 17 years ago when that one video blew up. In many ways, we’ve all grown up together, and now we’re officially the adults – the tias and tios! Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this next hour of comedy and tour, than to host a family reunion in each city and celebrate with you all! So, bring your entire family, and let’s have some fun and laugh together!”
In April 2023, Anjelah wrapped up her most successful comedy tour so far in major theatres across North America. In Los Angeles, she sold out The Wiltern four times with over 8,000 tickets sold. In Texas she sold over 25,000 tickets across Houston, Austin, Dallas, Lubbock, San Antonio, and El Paso. As part of her special tapings, she sold out the historic Ryman Auditorium twice with over 4,000 tickets sold.
Anjelah recently launched her comedy and wellness podcast – “Funjelah with Anjelah Johnson-Reyes” on YouTube and all major audio platforms – where she and a guest recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. She recently appeared opposite Eddie Murphy in the Amazon Prime holiday film, Candy Cane Lane, and in season two of Amy Schumer’s, Life & Beth, on Hulu. Earlier this year, she hosted the 8-episode Tubi original series, My Crazy Quince, which premiered in May 2024.
Her book, Who Do I Think I Am: Stories of Chola Wishes & Caviar Dreams, recently came out in paperback and contains stories of her growing up caught between her Mexican and American heritage, her rise to success in Hollywood, and so much more. Those same relatable stories connect her in a meaningful way to her fans and have driven her social media engagement through the roof (she has over 1.3M followers on Instagram, over 1.5M followers on Facebook, over 680K on YouTube, and over 3.2M on TikTok).
Tickets for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre show are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, February 21, at 10AM.
