Josh is a comedian (hopefully.) He is surprisingly popular, if you take into account his face and personality. 

He has more then 115 000 twitter followers and 200 000 Facebook fans. His podcast 'Josh Thomas and Friend' is the most popular independent Podcast in Australia (when be bothers to make it).

In 2007, Josh picked up the gong for the Melbourne Airport Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for his first ever solo stand-up show, Please Like Me.    He has now sold out rather large solo seasons at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival and Sydney Opera House as well as performing at the invitation only festivals Smithwicks Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, Ireland and the Geel Comedy Festival in Belgium. He was also the curator of the Brisbane Comedy Festival for its first two years.

Josh has appeared several times on The 7PM Project, was a regular favourite on Network Ten’s Good News Week, has performed stand up on Rove, made a clumsy but OK appearance on ABC's QandA, hosted the prestigious televised 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala in and is the Generation Y Team Captain on Network Ten’s Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation. 

In 2010, he was nominated for a TV Week Logie Award for Most Popular New Male Talent and won the GQ Comedian of the Year Award.

He really enjoys cooking. He was on 'Celebrity Masterchef' but his Italian Meringue didn't work.

An audio recording of Josh’s 2009 stand-up show, Things I’ve Said Before was in the Top 10 on Australian iTunes the week of its release and his 2010 stand-up show Surprise which was nominated for a Barry Award for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and since released on DVD, is nominated for Best Comedy Release in the 2011 ARIA Awards.

He has a dumb accent, he knows he has a dumb accent. There is probably no need to bring it up.

“Slightly confessional, brilliantly personal and so very sharply observed.” Daily Telegraph

“Compellingly honest, relentlessly entertaining.” The Age

“Brave, funny and thoroughly entertaining.” Sunday Telegraph

“Yes, Josh World is a very funny world indeed.” West Australian
