About Me

Johnny P! a.k.a. New Orleans Jon/Big Daddy Dago/Pope Pompadour II/Johnny Bourbon/Johnny Boston from Detroit/...and many others comes to you here in Orlando from Atlanta, GA. He spent six years there where he made a name for himself as the "Walking Ambiance" at any retro event (thanks Bridget). Upon arrival in Atlanta,in 1999, he with some good old pallys, Valley Boy Slick and Mr. Smooth, founded The Atlanta Ratpack. More of a social club than swing dance troop, The ARP danced and partied their way accross the deep south. In 2002, the wildly talented creators of ATL's "Big City Burlesque" sought him out to MC and host there new show. A dream job for Johnny who has been quoted saying "I get paid to smoke cigarettes, drink scotch, and be surrounded by beautiful women in vintage lingere!" After leaving his mark in the deep south, Johnny relocated to Orlando, FL in 2005. Once he was settled, Johnny P began to feel that electric energy of swinging jazz once again and mounted a one man show of his own! "Johnny P! Come Lounge With Me" debuted at "Tessa" Wine and Cigar Bar on July, 27th and will be performing there and at other venues soon. Watch out for updates to Johnny's calendar, especially now that he's BACK IN Atlanta, GA as of March 17th '08!
