Josh Johnson at The Fillmore - Detroit

Josh Johnson has delivered jokes to late-night audiences. Now Detroit gets the comedian without the television segment around him. Friday's early show is a chance to spend time with the writer and performer whose voice you may already recognize from The Daily Show.

The Emmy-nominated writer and Daily Show correspondent also has a background writing and performing for The Tonight Show. His comedy career gives you several ways to recognize him, but the draw here is Johnson as the stand-up headliner. Choose the outing because you enjoy his point of view and want to spend an evening following it.

His special #(Hashtag) offers one introduction to his own work. The comedy-and-music mixtape Elusive reveals another creative outlet, while The Josh Johnson Show gives podcast followers a familiar connection. If you’ve found a favorite through any of those projects, seeing him perform is a way to take that enthusiasm somewhere together with another fan.

The late-night segments introduced him. Friday at The Fillmore lets Josh Johnson take the whole spotlight. Choose the early show and bring a fellow fan.
