John Bush
Stand-up comedian
In a single line you can describe what you get from a John Bush performance – “Big laughs from an odd little man!” John has spent the past decade performing both his stand up comedy routine along with acting in major movies (such as “The Thomas Crown Affair”), television shows (including “Law and Order”) and on stage with the touring cast of “Triple Espresso”.
John is very comfortable on stage and his ease and humor make him a joy to watch perform. From his childhood relocation from Hawaii to Minnesota (why?) to his UFO sighting in New York City, this thrill ride is filled with rich characters, sharp impressions and even a disgruntled squirrel. John will make you laugh out loud and leave you with a smile on your face that will last long after his memorable show. John’s rock solid comedy show covers it all. John Bush is truly a one-man variety show.

About
John has performed for audiences of all shapes and sizes. Whether it is opening for Howie Mandel at Caesar’s Palace or tickling some Irish ribs in Dublin, John isn’t stingy when he gives out the laughs. After the show people often find themselves quoting parts of the act. His engaging style always astounds and never offends. All John wants is your comedy audience to feel good.
John was born in Superior, Wisconsin and moved with his family to Hawaii five weeks later. He lived in Hawaii until he was twelve when he moved to Minnesota. John has been performing professionally for 15 years, and some of his career highlights have been opening for Howie Mandel and performing at the Aspen Comedy Festival and a major motion picture role in The Thomas Crown Affair. In addition he has worked with Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, and many more nationally-known performers. He has performed in six countries and more than 35 states.

Intro
The following is a sample introduction you might use when introducing John Bush to your audience:
“Before we bring this evening’s entertainment to the stage, please take this opportunity to make sure that your chairs are all facing the front. That way all of us can see the show. (pause for the audience and for them to settle down)… Now, our performer tonight has shared the stage with Howie Mandel in Las Vegas and has appeared on ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ – but he is here with us tonight! Please give a warm round of applause to John Bush!”
