Cheerleader-turned comedian

She had an unlikely career change, but Oakland Raiders cheerleader-turned comedian Anjelah Johnson is incredibly funny, and this Saturday, she'll be performing a pair of shows at Cache Creek Casino Resort. Perhaps it's her unique perspective plus the ability to voice interesting characters that makes her compelling. Part of the cast of MadTV in its 13th season, a video of her Bon Qui Qui character from the show—a rude fast-food employee—went viral on the Internet in 2007. And in 2012 and 2013, Bon Qui Qui followed that up with a few rap music videos, including “I'm a Cut You” and “No Boyfren.” In 2013, she also had a role in the romantic comedy Enough Said starring James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus and released a stand-up special called The Homecoming Show. Saturday, February 1, at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.; $39-$49. Cache Creek Casino Resort, 14455 Highway 16 in Brooks; (888) 772-2243; www.anjelah.com.
