Hosted by veteran comedian Johnny Dam, the 2x award winning DAMage Report is filled with social/politcal commentary & satire.
Voted one of Talker Magazines Frontier Fifty for outstanding talk media web casting two years in a row, The DAMage Report brings together comedians & the weeks hottest social/political headline stories for a news show that is 100% unfiltered.
It’s like having Thanksgiving dinner with your family, without all the drinking, yelling, and awkward silence when the uncle that touched you arrives.

Johnny Dam has spent the last 19 years as a professional comedian, spokesperson, and radio personality. Oddly enough, he never once waited tables. When asked why, he replied, “I guess I never really wanted to be an actor.”.
Besides touring the U.S. and Canada, Johnny has traveled into war zones to perform for the troops throughout the Middle East including Iraq and Afghanistan. He has roasted congressmen, announced motor sports, and even bored the hell out of a parking meter convention – which really isn’t saying much since they obviously had a head start.
After cutting his radio teeth for over two years at L.A. Talk Radio, Johnny has not only structured and honed the 2x award winning DAMage Report; he has amassed a huge fan base as well. As one of twenty-five stories featured in the book “Facebook Fairytales”, Johnny is the first to ever fully produce a daily radio show on Facebook.
