Dyon “Mojo” Brooks is an actor, writer, producer, and nationally acclaimed stand-up comedian whose debut one-hour special hit number one on the Netflix charts after only one day of release, a feat only less than five comics have achieved in the history of the platform. Additionally, was named as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2025 where he was recognized and honored at the historic Just For Laughs Montreal. The prestigious list includes such notable alumni as Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Patton Oswalt, Tiffany Haddish, and Kumail Nanjiani to name just a few.
Mojo headlined the prestigious Netflix Is a Joke Festival this May with a fully sold out show at Los Angeles’s United Theatre. On the heels of that, he announced his full-sold out 2026 “Outta Pocket” Theatre + Arena solo headline tour with stops including Wintrust Arena in Chicago, The Met Philadelphia, Boston’s Wilbur Theatre, and The Lyric in Baltimore, all of which sold out in <4 hours with shows being added in every single market he’s playing. This tour alone will sell nearly 250,000 tickets in 6 months. With this tour, he enters the rarified air of <30 comedians that can sell out an arena (let alone two in one city) on their own. The demand, fandom, and passion for Brooks is palpable across not only the country, but internationally as sold-out multiple crowds across London and the EU in Summer 2026 as well.
Mojo concluded his 2025 nationwide “I Know You F*ckin’ Lying” Tour which saw every single ticket sold out, moving over 100,000 tickets across 40 cities. This tour also marked major milestones such as selling out the historic Chicago Theatre, the Orpheum, and two shows at New York’s Town Hall to name a few. He also recently concluded his co-headline “We Them Ones” Arena Tour with Mike Epps, playing to audiences of 10,000+ every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night across the country.
A Chicago native, Brooks frequently collaborates with the Chicago Bears and won a Sports-Emmy for his writing efforts across commercial and digital work, which the team continues to collaborate with him on. Additionally, Brooks has lent his comedic acting talents to music videos including Lil Durk’s hit Sad Songs. When not entertaining audiences, Brooks gives back to his community in Chicago, dedicating his time and resources to support youth development programs, demonstrating his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the stage and screen.
