Dean Johnson has appeared in theaters, comedy clubs, banquet halls, and at special events throughout the United States, in Canada, and the Cayman Islands. Dean has served as both guest and host on numerous radio and TV programs, and has appeared on stage with a wide range of well known personalities including The Smothers Brothers and Louis Anderson. Minneapolis Star-Tribune critic Colin Covert writes: "Johnson mixes homespun observations...with some sly satire worthy of Steven Wright."
