Josh Blue has been a fast-rising star since
first appearing on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia" before gaining
the attention and endearment of the country as a favorite on NBC's "Last
Comic Standing." Josh is a diverse and triumphant individual - hilarious
stand-up comedian, stand-out guest star on television, talented artist, and
stellar U.S. Paralympic Soccer player - refusing to bow to any of the
challenges that come from living with Cerebral Palsy. 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!"
