Current Saturday Night Live cast member James Austin Johnson‘s first standup comedy special will make its debut on Gorilla Comedy+ on August 31, according to Variety. The special is titled “He’ll Yeah.”
The special reportedly contains standup bits recorded at multiple venues earlier this year, including The Den Theatre in Chicago, Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco, and Zanies Comedy Club in Nashville.
Johnson is most famous for his uncanny impression of Donald Trump, which he first unveiled on SNL in Season 47 in 2021. He’s set to begin his sixth season on the show. In recent years, the man known as JAJ has expanded his repertoire to musical sketches and Weekend Update appearances. He’s become far more than a one-off impressionist.
Now, Johnson will release his first-ever standup comedy special on the Gorilla Comedy+ streaming platform. Others who have released specials on Gorilla Comedy+ include Patton Oswalt, Pete Holmes, and former SNL cast member Kevin Nealon.
The special will be exclusive on Gorilla Comedy+ for about three weeks before it is released on YouTube on September 22. A subscription to Gorilla Comedy+ is $9.99 per month of $99.99 annually.
