Josh
is an ex-public schoolboy, raised as a Buddhist who then trained
as a Rabbi before being kicked off the programme for being caught
with a naked (non-Jewish) girl, so perhaps it was inevitable that
he would go on to become a stand-up comedian.
Josh integrated these stories into his hugely successful
debut solo Fringe stand up show, entitled
Chosen
which played to sell out audiences and received rave reviews at
the 2008 Edinburgh Festival followed by a sell out run at the Soho
Theatre.
Already
a familiar face on the comedy circuit, Josh performs regularly in
London at clubs such as Up The Creek, Banana Cabaret, Comedy
Store, Jongleurs, Bearcat, Red Rose and King’s Head and around
the UK for the likes of Off The Kerb, Comedy Clubs Ltd, The Stand,
Just the Tonic and the Union of Jewish Students, proving
himself to be a massive hit at comedy clubs, universities and
private functions alike.
Josh
has also been filmed for the Paramount Comedy shows World Stands Up and Comedy
Blue and can currently be seen as the presenter of Movie Geek, the Sky Movies show that offers all the latest news in
the world of cinema. Often
praised for his writing talent, Josh is a regular contributor to The Guardian and is a columnist for Sky Movies Magazine.
The
rest of his CV reads like an accomplished media industry veteran.
Not only has Josh worked as a roving reporter for The Studio News,
as a writer/presenter on The
Indie 500 (both previously on The Studio on NTL), started his
own PR firm when he was just 16, received critical acclaim for his
writing and direction of a short film for Channel 4, he has also
had a number of senior roles at a variety of music video
production companies. Most notably, at 24, he was the youngest
person ever to be appointed as Head of Video in the
London
office of PARTISAN, working with the likes of Armand Van Helden,
Fatboy Slim and Placebo.
