Johnny Ater Life-long local and arguably one of Maine’s funniest, down-home comedians, Johnny Ater offers up hilarious and honest stories about life, family, work, and his colorful local friends.
Far from a bitter, self-hating comic, Johnny’s comedy is vulnerable.  He celebrates an uncool persona, which makes you embrace your own at the same time, winning over every audience, through communal fear of our collective and eminent nerdiness. 
He’s your goofy brother, your dorky Dad, your silly Grandpa, but after a show with him, he’ll just feel like “Johnny, your funny best friend”.
