Could you first introduce yourself to the reader?
Hello reader, I am Josh.
How would you describe your show?
An hour of silly stand-up about my life.
Why do you want to perform at Edinburgh Festival Fringe?
I think when you are british comic it’s just something that is expected of you like a right of passage
What differentiates it from other festivals?
Just the amount of comedians in one city for a whole month is crazy
What first motivated you to enter the industry? Who were your inspirations?
I was told to do it by a fair amount of people. To be honest I didn’t really watch stand up before I did I thought it was pretty boring but now I love it. My inspirations now though are Sarah Career? Silverman, Bette Midler and Suranne Jones
What is your earliest childhood art memory?
I didn’t do art when I was younger but I do remember my brother kicking a bin into my head.
If you didn’t have your current job, what would you probably be doing?
Probably still working in bars/restaurants. I was an amazing waiter and would always make the most in tips and that’s without doing anything sexual!
Did Covid-19 change the way you create work? Do you approach shows with a different mentality now?
Yeah it made me less anxious. I am just gonna do what I do best and if some posh reviewer doesn't get it then I am not gonna lose any sleep over it.
Describe the last year in 5 words or less?
Yeah it’s been alright
If you could work with anybody, from any point in history, who would you pick and why?
Marie Antoinette, because I love days off eating cake.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to take a show up to the fringe?
Rob a bank or marry a rich old guy first.
