is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He’s performed on
the TONIGHT SHOW, CONAN JEFF ROSS PRESENT: ROAST BATTLE, the
Comedy Central Half Hour,: COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS: MATTHEW
BROUSSARD, and some stuff with
MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk
about. You can catch him in THE
MAVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, THE
LEAGUEe, THE MINDY PROJECT,
and alongside BILLY CRYSTAL and
TiIFFANY HADDISH in the film

Fairbanks Funny Fest Finale:
Josh Blue!
Following his groundbreaking win on NBC’s Last Comic Standing
in 2006, Josh Blue has risen through the ranks to become a
well-established headliner at venues throughout the world. In
2018, Josh crushed his set on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy
Fallon. In the same year, he was honored with a performance at
the William H. Macy Gala at the prestigious Just for Laughs
Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada. He wrapped up 2018 by
recording his fifth hour special at his home club, Comedy Works
in Denver, CO. Josh does over 200 shows a year, continuing to
spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with
disabilities. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of
evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee
that no two shows are alike.
Critics have said Josh is not a cerebral palsy comic; he’s a comic
who happens to have cerebral palsy. However, his closest
friends describe him as “a d-bag.”
Josh made his television debut on Comedy Central’s Mind of
Mencia. His story has been featured on Fox, CBS, ABC, MSNBC,
and CNN. He was the first comedian to perform stand-up on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show, was named Best Winning Reality
Show Guest on Live with Regis and Kelly, and made standout
appearances on Comics Unleashed. He has appeared twice on
Ron White’s Comedy Salute to the Troops on CMT and made his
late night television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson. He became the first comic to premiere a stand-up
special on the big screen when 7 More Days in the Tank was
shown in movie theaters across the country. It also aired on
Bravo Network. Josh starred in Comedy Central Presents: Josh
Blue in 2011. His third one-hour special Sticky Change aired on
Showtime and Netflix.
In 2016, Josh released
his fourth one-hour
special, DELETE on
HULU and Amazon.
Josh dropped a music
CD Josh Blue and the
Hooligan Stew Review
with some original
songs. It has been
described as “Tom
Waits meets the
Muppets.”
Josh is a repeat guest
on such nationally syndicated radio programs as NPR’s Talk of
the Nation, The Mancow Show, and numerous podcasts including
Getting Doug with High, and WTF with Mark Maron. He has been
featured in numerous print publications including People
Magazine and The New York Times. Josh is all over social media
with over 1 million views on his YouTube clips and almost one
million followers on Facebook. selling out each -and-every
venue in which he performs.
