On Instagram this week, Los Angeles–based comic Rob Johnston gave followers a behind-the-scenes look at his summer plans when he posted a snapshot of his calendar. His caption read: “My updated calendar for May-July so far. I still have room for a few more shows in there so stay tuned for updates. DM for bookings. 💙 #comedy #standupcomedy #working #lacomedy”, teasing open slots for clubs, festivals and private events.
Fans immediately zoomed in on the densely packed grid, which highlights everything from midweek showcases to late-night roasts across top venues in the city.
Rob Johnston Maps Out His Summer Series
Among the confirmed listings is a mid-June headline set at The Icehouse Comedy Club in Pasadena. On Wednesday, June 18, he’ll anchor a Mob Comics showcase hosted by longtime collaborator Angelica Valenzuela. Tickets go on sale this week, with an eight-fifteen curtain and a full bar menu paired with a two-item minimum at the door. Johnston promises a lineup that will be “LIT” and overflowing with crowd work.
Meanwhile, earlier this month Johnston warmed up the Sunset Strip crowd at State Social House. He hosted an 8:30 p.m. show that doubled as a roast of fellow comic Kity Faya, writing in his May 11 post: “The show’s about to start. Come join us tonight on the Sunset Strip at State Social House. I’m hosting the 8:30 show and the roast of @kityfayaofficial 👿”. This blend of stand-up and playful jabs has become one of his signature formats, drawing fans eager for both punchlines and friendly heckles.
Studio Sessions And Special Events
Offstage, Johnston is also in the studio laying down cuts for his first full-length comedy record. He shared snaps from Stagg Street Studio in Los Angeles, thanking producer Trent Slatton and the team for their “friendship, hospitality and groovy vibe.” Johnston added that recording at a venue with such a legacy “is an honor.” The album is slated to drop later this year, giving fans another way to stream his material long after the live sets wrap.
With confirmed dates at clubs in West Hollywood, Pasadena and Studio City—and room left for last-minute bookings—Johnston’s summer is shaping up to be one of his busiest yet. He’s inviting club owners, promoters and even fellow comics to slide into his DMs for available time slots.
Whether you’re a die-hard subscriber to his digital sketches or a first-time comedy-club visitor, Johnston’s latest calendar offers multiple chances to catch him live. He’s scattered date cards across LA hot spots and hinted that additional cities may be announced soon, making it easy to find a show that aligns with any schedule.
