As a blind stand-up comedian who has been performing comedy for nine years, it was only a matter of time before I started my own open mic comedy night.

Beats & Bourbon and Blind Guy Comedy want to bring stand-up comedy entertainment to the community of Springbrook while giving local comedians another stage to work on their material. It will also serve as a first-time stage for anyone in Central Alberta who has always wanted to try stand-up comedy but has never had the opportunity.

At this time, our open mic comedy nights are 18+. Most Central Alberta comedians have material intended for an adult audience, but a family-friendly open mic is definitely not out of the question. If there is enough interest from the community, Blind Guy Comedy would be happy to explore an all-ages, family-friendly comedy night in the future.

Let the laughter begin!

Our first Open Mic Comedy Night takes place Saturday, September 5, 2026, from 8:30 PM to 10 PM. Each comic will receive seven minutes of stage time, with our closer receiving 15 minutes. This keeps the average show around 70 to 90 minutes.

This is not a ticketed event, nor will it ever be. Open Mic Comedy Night is a chance for everybody to get out, experience some laughter and, for some, maybe even try comedy themselves.

On behalf of Blind Guy Comedy and Beats & Bourbon Country Saloon, allow me to say

Welcome to Blind Guy Comedy Presents Open Mic Comedy Night at Beats & Bourbon Country Saloon! Let the punchlines begin!

If you are planning to perform stand-up comedy. Please arrive 30 minutes before the show. When you arrive at the venue, find the blind man with his wife. Just look for the guy whose eyes look like they’re bowls of milk. A little harsh, but it’s true.

I’m not ashamed of how I look. In fact, a lot of my comedy is based on my blindness. What am I going to do? Talk about the wall I can’t really see?

See you Saturday.

On Episode 13 of The Midday Show with J.R. Bjornson, J.R. celebrates August 19 with National Photography Day, Potato Day, Soft Ice Cream Day, Hot and Spicy Food Day, and National Aviation Day. Along the way, he shares his love of spicy food, his questionable method for making “soft” ice cream, and why flying still makes him think, I should’ve just drove.

Then a hilarious TikTok about a blind man losing his artificial vision because he forgot to pay the subscription sends J.R. down a rabbit hole: phones, internet, email, YouTube Premium, podcasting tools—even having a roof over your head can start to feel like one giant collection of monthly payments.

Question of the day: If you could permanently cancel one subscription or monthly bill without losing the service, which one would you choose?

Grab some potatoes, take a picture of them, add something spicy, and enjoy another quick dose of weird holidays, random observations, and laughs on The Midday Show with J.R. Bjornson.

You can listen to the audio of Blind Guy Comedy or if you prefer, you can just read the blog. Accessibility rocks!

Addressing the elephant in the room... yes, I am blind. Just look at the scars on my eyes. I have Peters anomaly, which causes scarring of the corneas. Due to a lack of viable technology, surgeons in Canada will not attempt a corneal transplant because there isn’t enough technology to ensure that the inside of my eyeballs is fully developed. So, I continue to live as someone who is blind and visually impaired.

Blind Guy Comedy was created in 2020, and it became something much bigger than I ever imagined. From the beginning of my career in 2017 until 2020, I was simply known as stand-up comedian J.R. Bjornson. Then, during a few Comedy Zone Zoom shows throughout 2020, I typed “Blind Guy Comedy” into the little name tag at the bottom of my Zoom window, just for the heck of it.

From there, it kind of skyrocketed. I started telling people, “Just search for Blind Guy Comedy,” and it just kept growing from there.

So, what is Blind Guy Comedy?

It’s a more positive version of myself that I bring to the stage. I educate people about the frustrations and annoyances of being blind, but also the positive side of living with blindness, all through educational, observational stand-up comedy.

For example, one of my jokes is:

“I quit going to the gym because I wasn’t seeing the results.”

It sounds like a dumb joke, but it’s funny because it’s rooted in real life.

The truth is, I really did quit going to the gym. Not because I wasn’t seeing results, but because modern gym equipment isn’t very accessible—especially now that so much of it relies on touchscreens.

Which brings me to another joke:

“I don’t like using self-checkouts because I can never check myself out.”

It’s a double joke.

First, these eyes don’t really work. They try, but touchscreens aren’t exactly designed with blind people in mind. So, literally, I can’t check myself out.

But it also works as, “Do I look good today? I have no idea!”

And, on a more serious note, self-checkouts still aren’t very accessible for many people with vision loss.

All of my humour comes from a place of saying, “Here’s why being blind can be frustrating... but here’s why it can also be funny.” If people leave my show laughing while also learning something new about blindness, then I’ve done my job.

Every joke I tell comes from lived experience, observation, love, respect, understanding, and humility.

Another fun fact about me: I’m half Indigenous.

What’s up?

My mom is Indigenous, and my dad is white. Sometimes I joke that my dad probably walked up and said, “Hey... I kind of took your land, but... can I marry you anyway?”

I don’t think that’s exactly how my mom tells the story.

Sometimes on stage—especially during an 18+ show—I point to one side of my body and say:

“This side had the land... and this side took it.”

I’m Indigenous, and I’m incredibly proud of that part of who I am. I have my Status card, and I love weaving Indigenous humour into my act whenever it fits naturally.

For example, Father’s Day was always a little confusing for me because I didn’t meet my biological father until I was 19 years old.

I’ll sometimes follow that up with another joke:

“I wonder if Father’s Day is just as confusing on the reserve?”

Then I’ll quote my friend Hilda Lambert, who always says:

“Always date three rivers down.”

Again, it’s all observational. My comedy always comes from a place of love, respect, humility, and having fun with life’s experiences.

Blind Guy Comedy has continued to grow every single year, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported this journey.

This is who I am.

I’m happy to announce that on Saturday, September 19, 2026, I’ll be kicking off the evening as the opening act for internationally acclaimed Indigenous comedy hypnotist Scott Ward at the Red Deer Memorial Centre!

If you’ve never seen Scott perform before, you’re in for a treat. He’s been entertaining audiences for more than 20 years, performing everywhere from Las Vegas to communities across North America. His comedy hypnosis show has been featured on CBC, CTV, APTN, and more, and now he’s bringing that experience to Red Deer Alberta.

As for me, I’ll be doing what I love most, making people laugh.

If you’ve followed Blind Guy Comedy for a while, you already know my style. I take everyday frustrations of living with blindness and somehow turn them into stories that make people laugh instead of feel sorry for me. My goal has always been simply leave people happier than when they walked into the room.

This show feels a little different for me.

Normally, I’m sharing the stage with other comedians. This time, I’m the only comedian on the bill, opening for one of Canada’s most respected comedy hypnotists. It’s a full-circle moment and one I’m incredibly grateful for.

First, about 20 minutes of Blind Guy Comedy. Then Scott Ward takes over and the audience becomes part of the show. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to watch your friends become the stars of a hypnosis performance, this is your chance.

Who knows... maybe someone you know will volunteer.

Event Details

Saturday, September 19, 2026, start time is 7:30 PM locations is the Red Deer Memorial Centre, this show is for audiences who are Ages 12 plus, whether you’ve supported me since my very first open mic or you’ve only recently discovered Blind Guy Comedy, I’d love to see you there. Bringing live comedy to my hometown always means a little extra to me.

Let’s fill the theatre, laugh together, and make it a night to remember.

Performing alongside hypnotist Scot Ward is a full-circle experience for me. Back when I lived in Grande Prairie, Alberta, I was the evening announcer and weekend morning announcer for Grande Prairie’s Classic Rock and More, 104.7 FREE FM. At the time, it was a classic rock radio station, and those were the best seven years of my life as a blind radio announcer.

I had the opportunity to see Scot Ward perform in 2009, 2010, and 2011. I received free tickets because I worked in radio, and on a few occasions Scot even gave me tickets because I was such a loyal fan who kept coming back whenever he performed in Grande Prairie. Now I get to perform alongside this incredible gentleman—not as a fan or a radio announcer, but as his opening blind comedian for his hypnosis shows.

The other full-circle moment for me is Grande Prairie itself. I will always remember it as the place where I started and completed my dream of becoming a radio broadcaster. It was where I had the opportunity to work on the Street Team for Persona TV and Cable, which later became Eastlink TV. Grande Prairie was where I lived out many of my radio and television dreams without needing a fancy college degree. It was also where I graduated from Grande Prairie Composite High School in 2009. Shout-out to the Class of 2009!

After that, I moved to Central Alberta, where I began performing stand-up comedy eight years ago. Now I get to return to Grande Prairie this September—not as a radio announcer, not as a television broadcaster, but as your blind stand-up comedian. It fills me with excitement and butterflies knowing I’ve come full circle with everything I’ve accomplished in my 35 years of life.

Comedy Reflections

As a blind stand-up comedian, you never truly know when your next show is going to appear out of the blue. That’s part of what makes this career so exciting.

Now that I’ve been performing for almost nine years, everything is starting to feel like a pattern. It’s hard to believe I already have comedy shows booked as far ahead as March 2027. If I could go back in time and tell myself that one day I’d be planning shows nearly a year in advance, I’d probably laugh at my future self and say, “You’re full of jokes... and apparently they finally started paying off.”

One of the biggest highlights of June was performing my very first Indigenous casino show at Bear Hills Casino & Travel Resort. I had such an incredible time. Everyone welcomed me with open arms, from the audience to the amazing comedians I had the opportunity to perform alongside.

Being part of the Must Be Nice Indigenous Comedy Tour has honestly felt like joining a family I never knew I had. Everyone supports one another, looks out for each other, and has incredible stories to share both on and off the stage. That’s something I’ll never take for granted.

Learning My Limits

The biggest lesson I learned this month is exactly why I’m not a full-time touring comedian. On June 21, I performed two shows in one day, only about 90 minutes apart. One was in Edmonton, Alberta, and the second was just outside Ponoka at Bear Hills Casino.

For a brief moment, I felt like a celebrity. The biggest reason it was even possible was because the promoter handled all the audio equipment. I didn’t have to set anything up or tear anything down. I simply drove there, grabbed the microphone, performed my set, and headed to the next venue.

That experience taught me something important.

Burnout is real. I honestly believe the only way I could perform multiple shows every week would be with a team behind me. Someone to coordinate travel. Someone to handle the sound equipment. Someone to manage ticket sales, promotions, and all the behind-the-scenes details.

Trying to wear every hat at once gets overwhelming pretty quickly.

Even with the exhaustion, these past few weeks have reminded me that I love stand-up comedy now more than ever.

Life Beyond the Stage

Now let’s pull back the curtain for a minute and talk about life away from the microphone. As many of you know, I’ve been working toward becoming an outreach worker.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that comedy and outreach work have something very important in common. Both are about connecting with people.

I love making audiences laugh, but I also love making a difference in people’s lives.

Over the past several weeks I’ve completed training modules and attended workshops that have helped me become a better listener, communicator, and future outreach worker. Before starting this journey, I honestly thought outreach work mostly involved helping people find resources and pointing them in the right direction.

While that’s certainly part of it, I’ve learned it’s so much more than that.

It’s about active listening. It’s about putting your own opinions and assumptions aside.

It’s about asking thoughtful questions instead of immediately trying to fix someone’s situation. That last lesson has probably been the biggest one for me.

I’ve always been a fixer. If someone tells me they have a problem, my brain immediately starts searching for solutions.

This training has taught me that people don’t always need solutions.

Sometimes they simply need someone willing to sit beside them, listen without judgment, and allow them to be heard. That may sound simple, but it’s one of the most powerful skills I’ve learned all year.

Family Comes First

People often ask why I don’t pursue stand-up comedy full-time.

The honest answer is simple. Family. Stand-up comedy doesn’t consistently pay the bills. Some years I might have a few fantastic months, but most of the time I’m investing far more into my comedy career than I’m earning back.

To become a full-time touring comedian would likely mean spending 40 or 45 weeks a year away from home. Growing up, I was raised by my single mom. Through everything, she was always there.

Because I didn’t have my father growing up, I never want my own kids to feel like Dad is always somewhere else chasing another show.

That’s why my dream isn’t necessarily becoming Canada’s biggest comedian.

My dream is finding meaningful work as an outreach worker while continuing to perform stand-up comedy. That way I can help people during the day, make audiences laugh at night, and still be home with my family. To me, that’s success.

Looking Ahead

A huge shoutout to all of my classmates from this past week’s outreach training. You know who you are. I learned so much from every one of you, and I’m grateful we shared this journey together.

As for comedy, my final scheduled show before taking a little break is at the Fox & Hound on June 30 at 8:00 p.m.

After that, my calendar is surprisingly empty. Honestly... I’m looking forward to it.

A little time to recharge, spend time with my family, create some new material, and wait for the next comedy adventure to appear out of nowhere.

As always, any upcoming shows will be posted right here in my Sunday blog updates.

Thank you so much for stopping by and keeping up with everything happening in my little corner of the world. I hope you’ve had a fantastic June.

And to all the parents out there... congratulations! School is officially out for the summer. Hopefully you remembered to register your kids for summer camps...

I didn’t. ADHD, am I right?

Okay, maybe that’s not a perfect excuse... but it’s the one I’m going with.

Until next time, thanks for following along with your favourite blind comedian... and hopefully, future outreach worker.

I purchased them in November 2025 with the help of my incredible online community, and now almost seven months later, I use them every single day. They’ve quietly changed the way I move through the world.

I was born with Peter’s Anomaly, which left me with a small amount of usable vision, a hint of blurry image quality, like looking through frosted glass. The eSight GO glasses don’t give me clear vision. What they do is something better. They help me identify the world around me. I can see what my friends and family actually look like. I have a rough idea of what my boxer, Murphy looks like when he’s running at me.

And whenever I want I can look over and see my wife smile.

That alone was worth it. I would post a photo of my wife, but she wishes to stay behind the camera.

The moments that have surprised me most about wearing my glasses so far.

Cutting a steak. I know that sounds small, but I have never in my life been able to cut steak properly on my own. I am almost positive that if you ask anybody in the blind and low vision community, they will tell you that most of them eat steak with their hands because it's just easier. These glasses let me actually see what I’m doing with a knife and fork. That moment of independence at the dinner table? It hit differently than I expected. Side Note, I did not realize how vivid stirfry is. The vegetables pop with color, the sauce makes everything look golden.

Watching live comedy shows. I can sit in the crowd and actually see a comedian’s hands, face, and body. The physical performance that I’ve always been performing myself but could never fully witness from the audience side. example my comedian friend Jesse has this joke about comparing certain drugs to the broccoli bands, I never understood the joke until I was able to actually see him fold his body half ways on stage. Then it made the joke that much better, because I was able to understand it from a visual context point of view.

Attending plays. I can sit in what would normally be the worst seat in the house, zoom in on the stage, and follow along with what the actors are doing. Not perfectly but enough to be in it.

What I haven’t mastered yet but maybe one day in the future.

Reading is still a challenge. I’ve read Braille my entire life, and while I can read normal print fonts slowly with the glasses, anything in script or connected lettering is still a wall for me. Restaurant menus with fancy fonts? Still a guessing game.

Karaoke. I haven’t tried it yet, though honestly, if I’m staring at the screen the whole time, I’m not sure that counts as a performance.

And performing comedy on stage? I still don’t wear them up there. The one time I tried, I started focusing on the people who weren’t laughing, and that is a fast way to ruin your own show. So on stage, I remain the blind comedian. Some things work better in the dark.

Here’s where you come in.

If you have questions about the eSight GO glasses and how they work, what they cost, what it actually feels like to use them? I want to answer your questions. but here’s the deal.

I’ve been performing comedy for almost a decade. My joy has always been sharing laughter. These glasses have given me something new to share, and the joy of actually being able to see the world I’ve been making jokes about.

Hello everyone,

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that, for the time being, Blind Guy Comedy will be pausing all T-shirt and merchandise orders to the United States due to the ongoing trade disagreement between Canada and the U.S.

My T-shirts are only $37 Canadian. Unfortunately, under the current tariff situation, sending a single shirt to the United States could mean approximately another $37 in additional costs, plus shipping.

Between you and me, that just isn’t worth it—for you, the customer, or for me, the blind comedian trying to mail you a T-shirt.

For that reason, please do not place an order if you currently live in the United States. If an order is placed, I unfortunately won’t be able to ship it until the situation changes, and your order would have to wait until Canada and the United States reach an agreement that makes shipping affordable again.

I sincerely apologize to my American supporters. I truly appreciate that you want to support Blind Guy Comedy, and I hope this pause is temporary.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
