PUEBLO, Colo. – John Brown describes himself as “an apostate Juggalo, one time birthday party clown who has an innate need to anger people”. Through his comedy, he craves attention because he wants to pull people out of their rut. Brown’s material stems from gloomiest and humiliating moments of his life. He hopes to make others smile and if they appreciate him afterwards, his goal is accomplished.
 
Brown’s first attempt at comedy took place when his best friend, Charley McMullen, gave him a phone call and said he needed a spot to fill on a bill. Without hesitation, Brown said yes. Afterwards—he reached out to fellow comedians, Amber Tozer and Joey Coco Diaz. Since the comedians inspired him to venture into comedy, he sought their encouragement and help with his first stand-up comedy routine. He acknowledged they are his favorite working comedians because they are openhearted and very approachable.

When it was time for Brown to make his debut on stage, he noticed a lot of familiar faces in the crowd. He remembered the comedy room he performed in was small and dark. The comfort from his peers in attendance and the dim lighting helped him power through his first routine. He compared it to riding a bike with training wheels. He went onto say he was thankful for everyone in attendance.
 
If Brown was to go on tour—he would bring along his comedy clique, The Thompson Boys. The members of the group include:  Charley McMullen, Ben Verbeck, Casey Dean Frase and PJ Palone. He added Dave Frost and cited he could be the bus driver. He chose them because he sees them as hardworking comedians. He realized the strong sense of trust between them and are guaranteed to put on a great comedy show.
 
In the near future, Brown hopes to release comedy albums and hopes to start a podcast. His main focus will always be stand-up comedy and he hopes to see himself performing at the World Famous Comedy Store, in Los Angeles. He hopes to earn money and travel the world with his material too.
 
As for Colo.’s stand-up comedy scene, Brown sees Denver comedy spotlight continue to shine bright and hopes to see it trickle down to the southern Colo. area. He states the only cannabis friendly comedy club, The Dab Lounge, will blossom to become the prime place to see comedy in the region.
