The Basie presents Anjelah Johnson-Reyes

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 04/21/2025

Get ready, Red Bank — laughter is about to erupt at The Basie! On Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 7:00pm, the one and only Anjelah Johnson-Reyes brings her hilariously heartfelt Family Reunion Tour to town, and let’s just say: you don’t want to be the one hearing about it the next day from your cooler cousin who did go.

You know her as Bon Qui Qui, the sassiest fast-food employee to ever say “Rude!” and from her viral nail salon bit that had everyone mimicking “you want gel?” for years.

On this tour, she’s diving into the comedy goldmine of family drama, cultural quirks, and those wild relatives you only see at weddings and funerals.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just need a break from your own family reunion, Anjelah delivers stand-up that feels like a catch-up session with your funniest friend. With her sharp timing, infectious charm, and stories that’ll leave you doubled over, this is more than a comedy show — it’s therapy with a side of chisme.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Count Basie Center for the Arts is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.
