Refreshing and endearing 22 year old comedian Josh Thomas rose to fame when he won Best New Talent at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2005.
Since then his star has risen on TV shows Talkin’ ‘bout my Generation and Good News Week.
He describes himself on his My Space page as a ‘comedian, writer and very generous lover’. In fact much of his material is filled with self-deprecating stories of his sexual exploits and unfortunate encounters with shady women that make you want to run up on stage and give him a pat and say ‘there, there’.
With sellout seasons at the Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals, it was no surprise to find a full house on his opening night at The Street on Tuesday.
His ‘vulnerable nerd’ certainly gets the girls in, and the nods from the males in the audience indicated an empathy or at least recognition of those awkward moments we’ve all encountered during intimacy, but which we’re not willing to discuss in public.
Thomas says, “I’m not good at computers… but I am good at talking to large groups about genitals, so it’s OK”.
There are only 3 nights left for you to catch his hilarious act at The Street Theatre.
