Josh Thomas is a Brisbane based stand up comedian and a very generous lover, fully hot in his V neck cardigans’, at the age of 17 Josh was the youngest ever winner of the RAW Comedy Competition. He also made the finals of So You Think You’re Funny, Edinburgh’s equivalent to RAW Comedy. Now he is 21 and helping his mother explore Online RSVP, which is like the schoolyard note service, for fifty year olds, and his own unsuccessful attempts at reaching puberty. Is it More Josh Than you can Handle?   Fortunately no, Josh is witty, funny and maybe a bit special in his humility. He warms up his audience by talking personally with them about their families,

lives and experiences. His show is divided into four sections, Sophie and The Golden Arches being two, as he explores the horrors of performing on the Gold Coast, and the joys of being able to whip up some rhubarb & custard in the romance stakes. Josh portrays an awkward , yet likeable character more likely to run off yelling “Stranger Danger” than be picked up in the pub, yet he managed to land a job as a writer for Girlfriend Magazine, as an expert on young girls and sex. These stories and many more are completely hilarious and endearing. Josh is effortlessly likeable – he’s definitely a comic to watch.
