About John

John believes his role as an artist is to encourage and incite laughter and joy while creating meaningful stories. He believes comedy and laughter bring people and communities together.

His next project starting in 2017 is to film a documentary regarding comedy and culture, where he will travel and work with various comedians and communities throughout the globe. He hopes the interviews and performances he documents will show the differences and similarities we have across cultures in what we laugh about.

John Voth was born In Germany to Russian parents and grew up in Australia. He was inspired to act by watching Al Pacino and Jim Carrey movies and moved to Vancouver, Canada, where he began studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre at Trinity Western University.
