Listed by Rolling Stone as one of the 'stand out' shows of the Edinburgh Fringe. The brilliantly offbeat Josh Glanc arrives in Bristol fresh from a smash hit, sold out Edinburgh Fringe run.
Wonderfully silly songs. Collusive and tender. Surreal stand-up.The moustachioed aussie has created a “wackily inventive absurdism all his own” (Times). “He’s one of the best out there when it comes to creating his own playground.” (Fest).
Nominated for the 2024 Edinburgh Comedy Award.
As seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival All Star Gala and creator and star of the recent Channel 4 Comedy Short also called Family Man. He's been labelled one of Australia's “most exciting emerging talents” by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Don’t miss it. Or do. I don’t really mind. I’m just the guy he pays to write this stuff up. Now here are some review quotes to help convince you, but seriously, it’s no skin off my back.
