ABOUT JOHN
John Pizzi is a full-throttle, high-interaction headliner who mixes stand-up comedy, ventriloquism, magic, and mentalism into one fast, unpredictable night. He’s not the kind of act where you sit quietly and clap politely—Pizzi’s whole thing is turning the room into the show, pulling audiences into the moment with quick improvisation, sharp timing, and an energy that keeps escalating.
A national headliner with a career spanning thousands of live performances, Pizzi has brought his one-man show to comedy clubs, theaters, resorts, colleges, and corporate stages across the country. He’s appeared on two seasons of NBC’s America’s Got Talent and has also been featured on CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman and ABC’s What Would You Do?
What sets Pizzi apart is the variety: his ventriloquism sidekicks, sleight-of-hand, and mind-reading beats are all built around comedy first—his own “special kosher comedy” style—so even the “wow” moments land with laughs. Expect a smart, high-energy show with surprises baked in—and the kind of audience connection that makes no two nights exactly the same.
