1st Class Shows- Our History Amusement Rides, Games and Food for your Fair, Festival, or Church event!

Jimi Johnson is a second generation showman who grew up on his family’s show in Chicago. After a successful run with a large carnival game operation, Jimi’s father, Bob Johnson decided to form his own carnival and in 1967 he did just that. By the 1970’s, the Johnson’s had one of the most successful carnivals in the Chicago-land area.

By the age of 15, Jimi had become the concession manager. This was a big responsibility, especially for someone so young, but Jimi proved himself and handled the job with professionalism. When he turned 20, the young entrepreneur decided to branch out and form his own company. This was the beginning of 1st Class Shows.

Today, Jimi Johnson provides the best in midway entertainment for over 45 events throughout the Midwest & Florida. Dates book early so contact us soon! We will be making every attempt to help you at your event.
