About John

After graduating from college, John Garrett accepted a position with a global accounting firm, providing consulting services to many large corporations while becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). John decided to attempt an open-mic performance after realizing how many people are consumed in their corporate jobs and needed to laugh.

Since then, John has been heard on The Bob & Tom Radio Network, seen in concert with Train, opened for Louie Anderson at resort casinos, and named "Best of the Fest" at The Detroit International Comedy Festival.  Tracks from his debut comedy album, Outside the Box, can be heard on Sirius|XM Satellite Radio. 

Audiences across the country find that he is the adorably obnoxious guy they wish they had in their boring office, unless of course they were his manager.  His unmatched facial expressions and uniquely clean observations of the people around him have left audiences in hysterics while looking at everyday things with a disturbingly new perspective.
