Don’t worry, though. Johnson’s stories have happy endings. She’s not here to trauma dump.

Ready Steady Cut

The show doesn’t feel over-rehearsed, or scripted from joke to joke, but as if you’re having an evening with your funny friend who’s got all the best stories.

Rated: 3/5

Zainab is smart, funny, and fresh! She brings a perspective that has not been considered in the comedy sphere. Hats off to the Wayans for giving her five minutes that allowed her brilliance to shine. Zainab is one to watch.

Zainab is weird in the best way. I'd never heard her comedy before, but this special definitely had me laughing out loud quite a few times… and I never laugh out loud at a TV show. She's offbeat, quick as fire, and ultra-smart. Highly recommended!
