From promising musician to popular comedian, it's Josh Weller and his amazing journey into comedy!
Handpicked by Fred Armisen to kick off his shows, Josh Weller embodies a diverse array of talents. Transitioning from a failed musician to a flourishing comedian, viral content creator, comic book writer, and podcast host, Josh's journey spans continents and mediums.
Born in England, raised in Malaysia, and now residing in London, Josh Weller's comedic prowess has garnered attention on platforms like ITV2's Stand Up Sketch Show. With just a year on the comedy circuit, his dynamic and cleverly self-deprecating stand-up style earned him spots on professional bills.
Beyond live comedy, Josh has cultivated a substantial online following with viral musical videos and diverse content, including mockumentaries, sketches, animated stand-up shorts, and character work. His mockumentary "The U2 Taken Paradox" boasts over a million views, stirring both laughter and ire among U2 enthusiasts. Moreover, his musical parodies on TikTok and Instagram have collectively amassed millions of views.
Josh's writing credits extend to Spitting Image and Alex Edelman's BBC Radio 4 show, Peer Group. He's even contributed jokes for McFly's guitar plectrums during their 2022 arena tour.
In the realm of literature, Josh's dark comedy graphic novel "Die Already" found its way to publication through CollegeHumor in 2019. Notably, he was featured in Twitter's Valentine's Campaign, showcased on global billboards in 2020.
His broadcasting ventures thrive as well, particularly with the success of the Dirty Air Formula 1 podcast co-hosted with Alfie Brown.
Before comedy took centre stage, Josh's musical career saw him signed with Universal Records as a teenager. He toured globally as a solo artist and fronted the popular punk band The Kenneths, sharing stages with notable acts like The Offspring, The Descendents, and Juliette Lewis. With experiences ranging from drumming for Ray Davies at the Royal Variety Performance to collaborating with artists like Paloma Faith, Weller's journey is as eclectic as it is impressive. Notably, his records were produced by Black Flag's Bill Stevenson.
Josh also made it onto our screens playing Boris in season 3 of The Witcher. With experiences like these, it's no wonder Musical Comedian Josh Weller's Comedy journey is as colourful as his personality!
