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."
Josh’s
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!"
