Ernest Tsosie, III & James Junes

Comedy Duo


Ernest Tsosie, III and James Junes were both born and raised on the Navajo Nation and have been "paying their dues" performing comedy on and off the reservation. James won first place at the first Navajo Nation stand up comedy competition in Farmington, NM in 2001 and Ernest was the runner up winner. This competition was the beginning of their friendship, brotherhood and comedy careers. This comedy duo has shared the stage with some of the best Native American comedians in North America, such as Drew Lacapa, Vincent Craig, Vanessa Short Bull, Charlie Hill and others.

James Junes

They enjoy entertaining people with their musical antics and reservation humor. Along with their sidesplitting humor, the pair uses their own testimonies and personal experiences as their weapon against the use of drugs, alcohol and domestic violence. As former substance abusers, Ernest and James deliver a sobering message to the audience by acting out a short skit entitled, "Addicted". Every performance is packed with tear rolling humor, which serves as the vehicle to pass the important message at the end. All ages can relate on one level or another, making the show a treat for all to experience.

Ernest Tsosie, III

Both performers are so "serious about being funny" that they quit their day jobs to pursue comedy and acting on a full time basis. Both being committed family men made this a big risk to take, but that is what it's all about.
They love what they do!
Their message to others is this...
"You don't know what you can do until you try."
