Joanna Angel

Joanna Angel – writer, producer, director, model and AVN award-winning adult film star as well as the infamous girl who had the fake orgasm on “LA Ink,” Joanna is more commonly referred to as the “Queen of Punk Rock Porn” in the adult world.

A quintessential nerd by nature, Joanna holds a B.A. in English from Rutgers University and although her name and brand are synonymous with a much more risqué art, she remains a director, writer, actress, adult entrepreneur, and comedic talent.  Joanna has been published in Carly Milne’s “Naked Ambition,” and was a featured sex columnist for Spin Magazine in 2006.  Joanna is also a diligent blogger who captures her daily experience for fans on the BurningAngel blog.

Driven by her desire to escape the futility of a regular 9 to 5 job, Joanna created Burning Angel with her partner Mitch when she was still in college.  She wanted a career that was different, sexy, and ultimately, fun.  Joanna drew upon her strengths as a powerful, intelligent, and creative woman, added her innate sense of comedic timing, and ultimately with a lot of chutzpah and her unique vision,  Joanna created a whole new genre of adult film.

Joanna has been featured on Playboy TV’s “Sexcetera,” Fuse TV, “The World Famous K-ROCK” KROQ/LA and in numerous editorials, including The New York Times, The Village Voice, Time Out New York, The New York Press, Esquire UK, Penthouse, SCREW, XBIZ, AVN, Fleshbot, HEEB and The New York Post, which featured Joanna as one of its “Top 25 Sexiest NYers.”  Joanna has also hosted for G4 TV, was recently featured on www.cracked.com and took part in The Night of 140 Tweets, which included some of the biggest names in comedy.  In addition, Joanna has directed, produced and starred in a variety of adult movies, mostly for her own company, Burning Angel.
