Over 10 years of experience
Josh Widdicombe has made a significant impact on the comedy scene since his debut in 2008, now being one of the most sought-after and highly regarded comedians in the UK for both his live stand-up and TV work.
Quickly establishing himself on the live circuit by supporting major comedy talents like Stephen Merchant, Kevin Bridges, Michael McIntyre, and Alan Carr, Josh has since had two sold-out UK tours and two sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival along with a nomination for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer.
Award-winning comedian
Widdicombe is best known from the twice BAFTA-nominated and multiple Broadcast and RTS award-winning Channel 4 series The Last Leg, as well as his critically acclaimed BBC sitcom JOSH, and his role as team captain on BBC Two’s Insert Name Here. A popular TV presence, Josh has appeared on BBC One’s Live At The Apollo, Would I Lie To You, Have I Got News For You, and Celebrity Mastermind, BBC Two’s QI and Mock the Week, as well as Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats and Alan Carr: Chatty Man.
Josh had a successful show on Xfm radio which ran for two years before he left to host the 5Live show Fighting Talk for a couple of years. Putting together his love for the '90s and football, Josh now hosts the cult '90s podcast Quickly Kevin, which has sold out live shows.
Television and touring
His BBC sitcom aptly named ‘Josh’ saw him star alongside his comedy heroes Jack Dee, Jennifer Saunders, and the Chuckle Brothers, receiving rave reviews. ‘Josh’ has run for three seasons and is currently available on Netflix. Never forgetting his stand-up roots, Josh has had two nationwide tours, both of which have been released on DVD.
