When John Burton takes the stage, people are struck by one thing – he looks like a gay serial killer. With a powerful stage presence and extra-large eyebrows, John can win over even the most skeptical of audiences. His style of comedy is self-deprecating, high-energy, and utterly jam-packed with jokes. John has the rare ability to fire off jokes like a machine gun, never giving the audience a chance to catch its breath. John’s act canvasses almost everything under the sun, including current television shows such as Blind Date and "All in the Family," he entertains people of all ages.

John is a former attorney who now lives in Chicago. After several years as a lawyer, he decided to quit being an attorney the instant he was fired. He kicked off his comedy career by moving from Ohio to the windy city, where he studied improvised comedy at the Second City, Improv Olympic, Annoyance, and Comedy Sportz theatres. Soon after this he started his touring on the road as a professional comedian.
