Johnny O quit his job as a bond broker in 1999 and started doing standup in September of that year. He basically got tired of people telling him that he should be a comedian and said “What the hell”. Johnny O has performed all over the country and featured in Canada. He started out at “The Gleason’s Gym” of comedy “Pips” in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn and has performed everywhere from Caroline’s on Broadway to Foxwood’s.
