For me, comedy starts with truth. I don’t make up stories—I relive real moments from my life, like the time I accidentally offered my chicken bone to a stranger. Most of my jokes come from awkward, embarrassing memories, and somehow, those stories connect us. I’m also fundraising for eSight Go glasses—life-changing tech that could help me finally see my audience. Learn more in the full blog.

Hello! I’m J.R. Bjornson, the legally blind comedian behind Blind Guy Comedy. After 8 years of sharing my story on stage, I recently tried the eSight Go glasses—and for one week, I saw the world clearly. I saw my wife’s face, my kids, even read a Tim Hortons menu. Now, I’m raising $8,200 to make that vision permanent. If I’ve ever made you laugh, please consider supporting or sharing my GoFundMe. Let’s make this dream real.

J.R. Bjornson is headlining his first-ever comedy night in Edmonton on Monday, June 9th at the Kingsway Legion!
