Becky Johnson

Becky Johnson (born February 14, 1978) in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian comedian, writer, actor and improviser, best known for her work in the improv comedy duo Iron Cobra (with Graham Wagner). She has been nominated at the Canadian Comedy Awards for her work in improvised theatre work and has also done a fair amount of work producing comedy shows and improv festivals in Toronto. She is well-known in the theater scene from Atlanta to Los Angeles to Minneapolis. She has appeared at the Edinborough Improv Festival.

Aside from live theatre, Johnson has done sporadic work in independent films. Some titles include: Secondary High (2002); The Water Game (2002); The Affected Turtleneck Trio (2001); I'm Not Martin! (2000); and Uranium (2004).

Becky Johnson has also had some attention for her work as a playwright, although not much is known of her work outside of Toronto and there appears to be nothing published. She publishes her own 'zines and underground comics, reviews of which pop up in Canada's Broken Pencil Magazine from time to time.
