Anjelah Johnson

Downstairs at The Hi-Fi Bar is packed as a room full of Aussies eagerly await a set from LA-based comedian Anjelah Johnson. For those living under a rock, Johnson shot to YouTube fame with her sketch Nail Salon where she impersonates a Vietnamese nail technician and is also adored for her character Bon Qui Qui, a mouthy fast food worker. Tonight's show highlights Johnson's impeccable impersonation skills as she draws from material about her family and race. The crowd is cult-like. We lap up every joke, finally losing our collective shit as Johnson indulges us with the characters she knows we have come to see.
