Josh Blue: Comedian with Cerebral Palsy

Comedian Josh Blue has been an instant hit since he exploded onto the scene by winning NBC's Last Comic Standing in  2006. Possessed with an undeniable likeability and comedic timing that belies his youthfulness; Josh continues to break down stereotypes of people with Cerebral Palsy and other 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. Despite his extensive schedule of stand-up tour dates, Josh maintains an active role on the US Paralympic Soccer Team and competed in Athens at the Paralympic Games, the world’s second largest sporting event.
