About this episode

Comedian Josh Thomas discusses his career and upcoming performances with hosts Lisa and Russell.

Comedian Josh Thomas popped in for a chat with Lisa & Russell. Josh started doing stand up 20 years ago. In that time he's won some prizes and lost a lot of celebrity versions of reality TV shows. His shows Please Like Me and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay were international sensations. They dealt with lots of important * issues * but this year he just wants to be silly. Catch him at Perth Comedy Festival Thu 7 and Fri 8 May. Tickets here - https://www.perthcomedyfestival.com/event/josh-thomas-jiggle-jiggle/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
