But did you know that Johnny Lever did stand-up comedy way before the Instagram and YouTube era? Recently, an old clip of the actor performing comedy on stage has caught the attention of social media users. The clip reminded fans of his incredible comic timing and proved that he is the OG comedy king.
In the clip, Johnny, dressed in a white suit and black pants, was seen joking about the disco culture. He also showed some incredible moves, nearly turning his set into a dance performance with drums playing in the background.
As soon as the video was shared, the comments section was flooded with reactions from fans and admirers. An Instagram user said, “Johnny Lever did stand-up comedy when stand-up comedy wasn’t started.” Another wrote, “He did stand-up? Freakin Iconic.”
