Funjelah with Anjelah Johnson-Reyes

This week on Funjelah, the shoes are coming off...literally. We are diving deep into the etiquette of whether or not you take your shoes off in someone else’s home, hotel, or basically anywhere. Tour has officially come to an end, and our mutual frustration with air travel and dirty hotel rooms is never-ending. However, with that comes immense gratitude for a weekend of strong final shows and looking forward to the next chapter. Plus, we were also on the Artemis II mission?
Thank you so much for your support!  😍

This week, Anjelah sits down with Harry Shum Jr., a friend from their early LA days of house parties and sneaking into auditions. From selling leaked burned CDs out of his backpack in high school to starring in shows with fiercely dedicated fans, Harry shares the moments, mentors, and lucky breaks that shaped his journey. Plus, he and his wife Shelby also share their love of dance through co-writing a children’s book about a little book who learns to dance from a Martian!

Early bird or night owl? We're not sure if one's better, but we are sure we have strong opinions and absolutely zero scientific backing. This week, Anjelah and Danielle are in the studio recapping their weeks with family and getting emotional over apartments, old Italian restaurants, and dead bees. Anjelah worries about her helicopter mom tendencies and Danielle yells at people who aren't paying attention to their surroundings. In the end, they both take it back to their early days as background actors in LA, because nothing says "you've made it" like jogging in a park miles away from the camera.

This week, Anjelah hangs with her good friend Johnny Giovati, and things get chaotic in the best way. There’s a deep dive into ghosts and the wacky characters on paranormal shows (you’ve been warned), a passionate rant about people blocking street parking with trash cans, and a little envy for small town parking life. Johnny also shares how his work in special ed has made him a better human, plus why car washes count as self care. Danielle and Johnny teach Anjelah about the art of the jukebox musical. There’s something for everyone!
