The comedian responsible for the viral “Nail Salon” cartoon is coming to the Valley.

And just hearing her funny yet accurate accents is bound to make plenty of folks laugh.

Anjelah Johnson, a comedian of Mexican and Native American descent, will perform Sept. 7 at Tachi Palace in Lemoore.

Tickets go on sale June 16, starting at $35.

Johnson, a former Oakland Raiderette, has performed on Comedy Central and MADtv.

But it’s viral video work that really has boosted Johnson’s fame.

She did the voiceover in the “Nail Salon” cartoon in which a woman essentially gets scolded for not having a boyfriend while trying to get a pedicure.

Johnson gained an even greater following after her performance as “Bon Qui Qui” at King Burger, acting as a rude fast food employee who has no filter.

Johnson, who lives in Los Angeles and is from San Jose, begins her tour July 4 in Del Mar.

Her September show at Tachi Palace will be her 15th of 17 performances.

Johnson currently has an hour standup show “Not Fancy” that’s a Netflix original and available for streaming.
