We are thrilled to have Justin Willman, host of the Food Network's Cupcake Wars, as the guest emcee for the 2017 JDRF Dream Gala!

Justin Willman is a magician & comedian known for his regular appearances on The Tonight Show,  Ellen, Conan, Food Network and @Midnight. His debut comedy/magic special Sleight of Mouth premiered earlier this year on Comedy Central to rave reviews.

The L.A. Times called him, "A new breed of comic who's making magic cool again for grown-ups. “ Playboy dubbed him, "The freshest and funniest magician working today." Time Out says his live show, "Has to be seen to be disbelieved.”

Justin was born in St. Louis, lives in Los Angeles, and does not own a rabbit.
