Josh Blue National Tour
Josh Blue has been a fast-rising star since first appearing on Comedy Centrals Mind of Mencia before gaining the attention and endearment of the country as a favorite on NBCs Last Comic Standing.
Josh is a diverse and triumphant individual - hilarious stand-up comedian, a stand-out guest star on television, talented artist, and stellar U.S. Paralympic Soccer player refusing to bow to any of the challenges that come from living with Cerebral Palsy. Blue jokes, I realize that people are going to stare so I want to give them something to stare at.
Josh uses his incredible sense of humor and versatile persona to defy stereotypes and encourage others to overcome their preconceived notions about people who are considered disabled. His unique brand of reverse teasing affords him the great joy of humbling condescending people.
Joshs stand-out performances at the 2004 Las Vegas Comedy Festival earned him $10,000 as Grand Prize Winner of the Royal Flush Comedy Competition. He has appeared on NBC, MSNBC, FOX News, and Fox Sports Net. In 2005, Josh emerged as a major force on the college circuit with Main Stage Showcases that garnered rave reviews and a helped earn him a nomination for BEST DIVERSITY EVENT OF 2006 by APCA.
A Lewis & Clark College programmer remarked: Not only did Josh Blue receive a standing ovation, but he was the funniest comedian of the entire three-day convention. From comedy clubs and theater engagements to college campuses and corporate events, wherever he takes the stage Josh elicits a wildly appreciative crowd response. His uncanny ability to improvise with any audience coupled with comedic timing rarely found in a performer of his age has enabled Josh to rapidly develop a fan base across the country. His rise is perhaps best described by a well-known club owner following a recent show when he exclaimed: Josh is rolling like a ROCK STAR!
About Josh Blue
Perhaps best known as the comedian who puts the cerebral in Cerebral Palsy, Josh Blue centers much of his self-deprecating act around his disability. He exploded onto the national comedy scene by capturing the attention and endearment of the country as the winner of NBCs Last Comic Standing.
Having already established himself as one of the most sought-after comedians on the college circuit, his weekly appearances on Last Comic in the summer of 2006 expanded his fan base exponentially.
Josh starred in Comedy Central Presents: Josh Blue, which received rave reviews from fans and critics alike and was named the 11th best special on the network in 2011.
Most recently, Josh debuted a one-hour Showtime special, Sticky Change, where he cracks jokes and tells stories about everything from being a white African-American, to dealing with cabbies who think hell pay in sticky change. The special is currently available on Netflix.
He has appeared twice on Ron Whites Comedy Salute to the Troops on CMT and recently made his late night television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Possessed with an undeniable likeability and comedic timing that belies his youthfulness; Josh continues to break down stereotypes of people with disabilities one laugh at a time. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are exactly alike.
