Meet J.R. Bjornson

Blind, Bold, and Brilliantly Funny

J.R. Bjornson is living proof that resilience and humor go hand in hand. Born blind, he’s been turning obstacles into punchlines ever since.

A proud dad of five, J.R. thrives on curiosity, connection, and creating unforgettable moments. Whether it’s on stage, on camera, or behind the mic. You’ve probably seen him cracking jokes at live shows across Alberta, hosting Tuesday Stories With J.R. Bjornson podcast, or sharing insights (and laughs) on his YouTube channel.

With every performance, J.R. brings raw honesty, heart, and humor. Drawing from his life with Peter’s Anomaly, family adventures, and his unique journey through a world built for sighted people. He’s more than a comedian. He’s a motivational speaker who reminds audiences that we don’t have to see life clearly to live it fully.
