Josh started his stand up career in May 2014 when he exploded onto the scene by winning a gong show in his first ever gig. Since then Josh has continued to follow that explosion up with a series of sustained artillery attacks in the form of open spots around the west midlands. UN peacekeepers (hecklers) have tried to halt Josh’s assault on the comedy industry but have been forced to retreat by a mixture of well-crafted routines and elongated military analogies.
