Josh Blue (Winner "Last Comic Standing") at Sacramento Punchline

Hi Sacramento Comedy Lovers,

The Punchline is on a roll with top notch, nationally touring headliners! This Thursday evening Meetup to see one of my favorite comedians, Josh Blue will be a blast! Start your weekend of laughter just a few days early! Watch a video of Josh Blue here: http://SacramentoCome...

Josh Blue has been a fast-rising star since first appearing on Comedy Central’s “Mind of Mencia” before gaining the attention and endearment of the country as a favorite on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” Josh is a diverse and triumphant individual - hilarious stand-up comedian, stand-out guest star on television, talented artist, and stellar U.S. Paralympic Soccer player – refusing to bow to any of the challenges that come from living with Cerebral Palsy. Blue jokes, “I realize that people are going to stare so I want to give them something to stare at.”

Josh uses his incredible sense of humor and versatile persona to defy stereotypes and encourage others to overcome their preconceived notions about people who are considered “disabled.” His unique brand of “reverse teasing” affords him the great joy of “humbling condescending people.” Josh’s stand-out performances at the 2004 Las Vegas Comedy Festival earned him $10,000 as Grand Prize Winner of the Royal Flush Comedy Competition. He has appeared on NBC, MSNBC, FOX News, and Fox Sports Net.

From comedy clubs and theater engagements to college campuses and corporate events, wherever he takes the stage Josh elicits a wildly appreciative crowd response. His uncanny ability to improvise with any audience coupled with comedic timing rarely found in a performer of his age has enabled Josh to rapidly develop a fan base across the country. His rise is perhaps best described by a well known club owner following a recent show when he exclaimed:
“Josh is rolling like a ROCK STAR!”

    Mike E. Winfield was super funny.

    I found the audience members that were laughing and calling attention to themselves, to be most annoying. I didn't come to listen to them cackle and interrupt the flow of the show. Rarely do I find that amusing. Aside from that, the show was great. Thanks again, Steve.

    I was there with KoKo and had a blast! Too bad I didn't get to meet anyone else from the group though. Maybe next time.

    Had a blast Thursday night. Thanks Steve for setting it up. Josh Blue was hillarious ..as was Mike E. They both kept me rolling with laughter all night. Hadn't seen Mike E. (and the gang) for a while, so it was great hangin' out and catchin up with the Boyz afterwards. Definitely planning on going back in May for Mike E's headliner.
