He sets himself apart with his hilarious impersonations served with his own blend of schoolboy charm and bad-boy charisma.

He also placed runner-up in the Magners Comedy Festival and was awarded Best of the Fest at the Detroit Comedy Festival. Bohn dedicates time to supporting U.S. military service members by working with The Comics on Duty World Tour, and has performed fundraisers for charities such as Habitat for Humanity and Childhelp.
