We had the good fortune of connecting with Johnny Woods and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Johnny, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I’ve always wanted to be a performer, since I was a boy, I acted in school plays and even auditioned for Disney though at the time they said I was too chubby to be an actor, this also happened to me later in college when my student advisor asked that I drop my theater class and go to school to be a stage hand instead. Before I was a comedian I was a rapper and producer but I never had any real success with that other than opening for Lil Wyte and Riff Raff. I’ve been told NO 1,000 times, the more people told me NO the harder I worked and the more successful I became in my felid. I’ve always been a creative person but it’s never been that useful until the last few years.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I wouldn’t call it art but I do have a podcast with over 100 episodes that I e been working on for a few years and a barrage of dick jokes and double entendres that I pride myself on crafting over my 6 year career in comedy. I’ve had a lot of tough breaks and I’ve bombed a ton of times but lately things have been really good so I think I’m due. The only lesson I’ve learned that seems to continue to lend itself to me is that everyone bombs sometimes so don’t be too hard on yourself, just work hard and keep going after your dreams.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First, I want to thank my Fiancé Brooke for always being by my side and supporting me. Shoutout to the stand up comedy community in Dayton Ohio, both the comics, fans, and bookers, without them I would be nothings. That’s where it all started for me.
