Johnny Pemberton was born and raised in Minnesota, developed Ulcerative Colitis as a child, got really really into Reggae, then somehow went on to have an actual career in the entertainment industry. This show marks his first foray publicly sharing a series of highly personal stories that were all previously kept hidden, deep in the shame vault. “Minnesota Reggae Colostomy Bag” is a celebration of those stories, transforming the embarrassing into the hilarious.

He appeared in the films “21 Jump Street,” “22 Jump Street,” “Neighbors 2,” “The Watch,” “Ant Man,” “Action Point,” “This is 40,” and Armando Ianucci’s Oscar nominated film "In The Loop." On the TV side, Johnny portrays 'Thaddeus' in the hit show "Fallout" on Amazon Prime. He also played 'Max' in FX's "You're The Worst," the title character on the FOX series "Son of Zorn,".
