On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,” Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features Atlanta-based comedian Pauline Johnson.

Johnson comes from Minnesota originally, and while she’s still feeling out Atlanta’s comedy scene, she’s wasted no time making a name for herself in the city’s tight comedic circles.

“ My favorite places so far have been Punchline and then also Laughing Skull,” she says. “Both had really fun, energetic audiences.”



Her midwestern charm comes through heavily on the stage – where she focuses on topics that are close to her heart and easily relatable to her audiences.
