Anjelah Johnson-Reyes leans into the specific brand of marital hyper-vigilance that comes with the ‘Find My Friends’ app. Tracking her husband Manny with a dedication that borders on a full-time job, she convinces herself that any unanswered text is a fatal emergency. The hour thrives on this kind of recognizable domestic dread, translating the mild psychosis of modern marriage and phone addiction into a highly structured, comfortable club set.\n\nFilmed in April 2022 at the Tempe Improv in Arizona, the performance is a self-produced milestone for the comic, who built the material during her pre-pandemic ‘Technically Not Stalking’ tour. Released in late 2024 through 800 Pound Gorilla Media, the hour avoids the dirty-comedy route in favor of clean, broad observational stories. She works through a series of lighthearted anecdotes, from the absurdity of paying for her dog Banzo’s DNA test to the mechanics of phone-scrolling on the toilet. While it lacks a sharp edge, the set showcases her polished timing and physical delivery, especially when staging a bit about encountering a 1990s ghost named Stacy.
