WINNER: Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2010


Since his first gig in 2008 Josh has had a remarkable impact on the comedy circuit. In just two years he has been named Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2010 and after just a handful of gigs made it to the final of the prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny' final at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2008

Now regarded as one of the best up-and-coming acts on the UK circuit Josh is in constant demand at clubs and theatres across Britain. Josh is fast establishing himself on the live circuit supporting huge comic talent such as Kevin Bridges, Michael McIntyre, Alan Carr and Shappi Khorsandi.

Other than stand up Josh has been busy taking part in BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, Arthur Smith’s Balham Bash, BBC Radio 5Live’s Fighting Talk and ITV4’s Mark Watson Kick’s Off. Josh will also be appearing in ITV4’s FHM Stand-Up Hero – the series starts this autumn running for six weeks.

He has also written for Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and BBC Radio 4's Look Away Now.
