Who is Josh Branham? Who Cares??? Well you do, apparently! Josh Branham is a man, a big man. Though not so big, and not much of a man. His comedy is cerebral, yet simple. Josh’s unabashed views of life as he searches for love and money, whichever comes first, has led to numerous appearances at clubs & colleges across the United States. Sometimes to perform.

 

Josh was born in the Midwest, but he was raised in small-town Kentucky. Josh always knew he wanted to be a comedian, but it took him awhile to grow some…courage. In 2003 he performed stand-up for the first time at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles after realizing he had no self-esteem to risk.  

 

Josh’s family provides the backdrop to his comedy, and perhaps some explanations. Mix a very conservative father with a mother who thinks she’s an American idol, add an Aunt Jerry and an Uncle Sherry, a heavy dose of embarrassment, four redneck siblings, and finish with a twist of irony. It’s a recipe everyone can enjoy!

        Josh has featured for Bob & Tom favorites Etta May and Mike Armstrong as well as a host of other headlining comedians. In 2007 he won the "Comedy Off Broadway Comedy Challenge;" in 2008 he was a semifinalist in the "Funniest Person in Cincinnati" and the "Midwest Ultimate Funny Championships"
