Stargazers Theatre proudly welcomes the winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Josh Blue, to Colorado Springs for an evening of hilarious stand-up comedy. A special guest opening act is TBA. 

About JOSH: Perhaps best known as the comedian who puts the cerebral in Cerebral Palsy, Josh Blue exploded onto the national comedy scene by capturing the attention and endearment of the country as the winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Having already established himself as one of the most sought after comedians on the college circuit, his weekly appearances on Last Comic in the summer of 2006 expanded his fan base exponentially. Josh currently has a new special out, Comedy Central Presents: Josh Blue, which has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

Possessed with an undeniable likeability and comedic timing that belies his youthfulness; 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 and his story has been featured on Fox, CBS, ABC, and MSNBC. 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. He became the first comic to debut a stand-up special on the big screen when 7 More Days in the Tank was shown in theatres across the country. Portions of the performance also aired on Bravo Network as a half-hour comedy special. Josh is a repeat guest on such nationally syndicated radio programs as NPR’s Talk of the Nation and The Mancow Show and has been featured in numerous print publications including People Magazine and The New York Times. Josh has also become an internet sensation with his top two YouTube videos approaching 3 million plays.

Despite his extensive schedule of stand-up tour dates, Josh maintains an active role on the U.S. Paralympic Soccer Team and competed in Athens at the Paralympic Games, the world’s second largest sporting event.

Josh resides in Denver with his wife, Yuko, their son, Simon, and daughter, Seika.
