Rolling Stone touts him as one of the top road comics
working today and the New York Times claimed, the faces
of the audience said it all…unbelievable! The
Las Vegas Review-Journal gave him in theBest of Las
Vegas lists, the Best Show category, also honoring him
as Best Comedian of the Year for 2002.
Amazing Johnathan also has added some new material and his wacky assistant of more than three years, Psychic Tanya, has stayed with him. The uproarious blonde supports his act with silly banter and spontaneous hilarity that adds to the off-the-wall production.
The Amazing Johnathan Show has adult themes and language. Those under the age of 18 will not be admitted without a parent or legal guardian.
The Amazing Jonathan, dubbed "The Freddy Krueger of Comedy," is fast becoming known as the most original and bizarre act to emerge from this era. His fast paced razor wit and tornado like approach to magic is making him a legend throughout the world.
The Amazing Johnathan is instantly recognizable from his record number of appearances on Fox's Comic Strip Live (an unprecedented twenty-four appearances), The Arsenio Hall Show, HBO's Young Comedians Special, four Showtime specials, Late Night with David Lettermen, Entertainment Tonight, NBC's Worlds Greatest Magic II, World's Wildest Magic, ABC's Caesar Palace's 30th Anniversary Special, Champion's of Magic, and two of his own half-hour special for Comedy Central entitled, Lounge Lizards, Premium Blend, and his new Comedy Central Presents: The Amazing Johnathan.
Jonathan’s most famous fan turns out to be President Reagan, who invited Johnathan to perform at the 1986 Statue of Liberty Celebration. Another fan of Jonathan’s changed the course of his career. Merv Griffin, who is the mastermind behind the two biggest game shows in TV history, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, watched Johnathan destroy audiences night after night as the headliner of his Red Hot & Rowdy revue show in Atlantic City. In 1990 Merv approached Johnathan about creating a game show based around Jonathan’s live show. Together they created RUCKUS, the wildest game show ever aired. It was played in Atlantic City at Resorts International in front of 700 screaming fans each day, making it the largest audience in game show history. After seeing the wild pilot for this show, NBC bought 65 episodes which aired every night on WNBC. It is currently seen every night on The Game Show Network.
