'This is one of the most individual, accomplished, hilarious and unforgettable hours I have had this year' - The Scotsman ****
Star of BBC2’s 'The Rob Brydon Show', Channel 4’s 'Stand Up for the Week' and '8 Out Of 10 Cats', Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer 2011 nominee, Chortle Best Breakthrough Act nominee 2011 and FHM Stand-Up Hero 2010.
Josh opens the doors to how his upbringing in a tiny village in rural Devon didn’t prepare him for the realities of life and relationships. From his hankering to move to the bright lights but on the other hand terrified of the rest of the world, to struggling to adapt to his twenties, not knowing whether to embrace being an adult or hold on to his youth. If This Show Saves One Life... is a hilarious insight into the daily foibles of one of comedy’s fastest rising stars with observations and dilemmas we can all relate to.
'Josh Widdicombe has the sort of gentle confidence, low-key charisma and one-for-all-the-family charm which could see him selling out enormous stadiums in a couple of years' - The Times
Since his first gig in January 2008 Josh has had a remarkable impact on the comedy circuit. In just three years he has been named FHM Stand Up Hero 2010 (ITV4), Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2010, Chortle Best Breakthrough Act Nominee 2011 and after just a handful of gigs made it to the final of the prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny' final at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2008. He has also been installed as a resident on ch4's 'Stand-up For The Week'.
Now regarded as one of the best up-and-coming acts on the UK circuit, Josh is in constant demand at clubs and theatres across Britain. Josh is fast establishing himself on the live circuit regularly supporting huge comic talent such as Alan Carr, Kevin Bridges and Michael McIntyre.
