Following a breakthrough run at the Fringe last year, a debut tour and a Dave Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Award nomination, Josh Jones will be touring the UK with his new show Gobsmacked after a run at the Edinburgh Fringe - 2-27 August.
Josh is Gobsmacked at turning thirty, so this is his ‘coming of age’ show. He has taken up boxing (for self defence reasons), canoeing and he knows that he definitely wants his own family. He’s got a massive problem with geese and his Mum’s physic is helping him work it all out. Come and see how this Mancunian ray of sunshine is getting on.
After his hilarious debut TV appearances on E4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats and ITV’s Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club, Josh has gone on to host BBC Three’s Fast Food Face-Off and make guest appearances on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, ITV2’s Iain Stirling’s CelebAbility, E4’s Reality News, Sky Max’s Dating No Filter, Dave’s As Yet Unititled and Late Night Mash, and Comedy Central’s Undeniable, Guessable, Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains and Comedy Central Live. Josh recently made his debut appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show.
Josh co-hosts the Dave original podcast series Hard Sell. He also hosts his own historical gossip podcast Dead Drama, and the Chatting with Cherubs podcast with Morgan Rees.
In 2022 Josh was nominated for Best Newcomer at Dave’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his critically acclaimed show Waste of Space. He also won Best TV Act at the Northwest Comedy Awards in 2023 and was previously a finalist for the prestigious BBC New Comedy Award, which he subsequently went on to judge on BBC Three. Josh was also nominated for Outstanding On-Screen Talent Featured in a Production at the 2022 Royal Television Society Northern Ireland Awards for hosting Fast Food Face-Off for BBC Three
