I went to see Kiri Pritchard McLean’s tour Victim, Complex at the Firestation, Carlisle in April 2019 and she welcomed her support act to the stage. Josh Jones is an extremely camp tour de force. The Manchester working class comic’s friendliness towards the crowd and energy he protruded from the stage let him get away with saying anything, however crude. He was exceptionally cutting with some very funny filthy jokes and stories and successfully warmed the audience up for the main act.
Jones was one quarter of The Comedy Reserve that I saw at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2019. Again, he had an innocent, smutty yet extremely warm delivery which immediately won over the full late-night audience.
The comedian was a guest on #SaveLiveComedy Show 1 that I watched online in August 2020 where the precise timing and delivery of his filthy jokes and stories was a hit with the crowd
Jones delivered an hour of new material at Always Be Comedy in June 2022 and was also a wonderful guest for Saturday Night Comedy at the Oxford Glee Club in November 2022. He had the audiences in the palm of his hand as he described unfortunate sexual mishaps with wonderful innuendo and delivery.
