THEATRE + COMEDY

The Improv Comedy Showcase and Restaurant presents John Wessling. 

From the bowels of South Texas, crawls loose this young joke-slinger, evoking the hard-hitting storyteller styles of the Houston comics who came before him. John Wessling has traveled the globe, telling jokes to drunks and comedy fans alike, for over 12 years as a professional.

He is one of only 3 comedians who has ever performed in all 50 states in 50 consecutive days. In 2003 John was a semi-finalist on Last Comic Standing season 2 and then a stand-out performer in the New Faces showcase at the 2004 Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. John performed in the Comedy Central Roast of Jeff Foxworthy, as "Johnny Foxworthy"-Jeff's younger brother from prison and in 2006, appeared in the first season of Comedy Central's LIVE at GOTHAM.

Along the way John sold a sitcom about selling cars to Universal Network TV, appeared on the Latino Laugh Festival show on SiTV, headlined clubs in the US & Canada and opened in sold-out theaters across the US for George Lopez, Carlos Mencia, Larry the Cable Guy, Jon Lovitz and Norm MacDonald!

John's love of sports combined with his natural smart-ass made him an excellent sports comedy blogger and his blogs and videos have been syndicated and linked all over the net. This lead to his dominating appearance on the VERSUS NETWORK's hit show FANARCHY as "Killer Bee from Houston" in 2009. John Wessling just recently left Los Angeles after 8 years of exile from his native land, and has returned back to Houston telling jokes for a living and can be heard regularly on Sports Radio 610AM!
