Best known as the comedian who puts the cerebral in Cerebral Palsy, Josh Blue centers much of his self-deprecating act around his disability. He exploded onto the national comedy scene by capturing the attention of the country as the winner of NBC's Last Comic Standing. Josh starred in Comedy Central Presents: Josh Blue and recently debuted a one-hour Showtime special, Sticky Change.

Possessed with an undeniable likeability and comedic timing, Josh continues to break down stereotypes of people with disabilities one laugh at a time. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are exactly alike.

Josh has appeared as a regular guest star on Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia. He was the first comedian to perform stand-up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, was named "Best Winning Reality Show Guest" for his appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly, and made a standout guest appearance on Comics Unleashed. Josh became the first comic to debut a stand-up special on the big screen when the film 7 More Days in the Tank was released. Most recently, Blue appeared in the sports based comedy film 108 Stitches. Josh has been featured in numerous print publications including People Magazine and The New York Times. He has also performed at the prestigious HBO-Aspen Comedy Festival, Comedy Central's South Beach Comedy Festival, and The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas. In addition to his stand-up, Josh was a member of the US Paralympic Soccer Team and competed in Athens at the Paralympic Games, the world's second largest sporting event.
