Johnny Nigma aka ‘enigma’ aka “The Shadow of Evil”

John Quel

Johnny Nigma is a relative newcomer to the world of comedy, and is
currently working at developing his unique act that includes an eclectic
assortment of surreal stand-up, peculiar props and bizarre chaos magick.

After ‘headlining’ with a ten-minute appearance at the inaugural Hay-on-Wye
Fringe Festival’s (www.hayfringe.com) “Open Mic Night” with his first ever
shot at doing stand-up comedy as a direct result from a challenge issued by
the mysterious entities behind the art project “I Could Do Better Than
That” (www.icoulddobetterthanthat.com) and his second gig gaining him a
place in the semi-finals of the BBC`s “Funny Business”
(www.funnybusiness.org.uk) competition, the world may well be his lobster!

At the moment he is “Gagging for Gigs” and looking for Open Spot
opportunities as part of his ‘Open Mic Hunt Tour’ around Wales and across
the UK, where he can practice his subversive activities involving the dark
arts of humour and continue in his desire to possess as wide a range of
skills and experience on the comedy circuit as possible.

Audiences have witnessed that his act comes along with a lot of personal
baggage, and the improvised impromptu content of his spontaneous sets
covers a diverse range of material such as sadistic magic tricks,
mentalism, hypnotism, science-fiction, Harry Potter, strange books, Wales,
Klingon jokes, chickens, rabbits, psychic props, weird inventions, offal,
blood and goatsuckers.

His stage act has already drawn comparisons with the likes of Tommy Cooper,
Harry Hill and Joe Pasquale.
