Hailing from Philadelphia, Josh Denny displays a unique brand of comedy that can carry no label. Described by many veteran comic greats as having a "cartoon mind," you never know what you will get at one of his shows, whether a serious look at the ridiculous, or a totally ridiculous look at the serious.

While many comics native to the East Coast talk about racial and cultural differences, Josh Denny takes the opportunity to unleash all things hilarious without reservation, no matter what the subject line, or what the risk. With a widely diverse upbringing involving military discipline, macho-mafioso lifestyles, interracial relationships, and a family of larger then life characters, this Irish kid from Chester, PA has hit the comedy "road" firing on all cylinders. In his first year of comedy, Josh went from hitting over 200 open mic shows in the first 6 months, to winning the 2007 Midwest Next Big Comic Contest and headlining comedy clubs across the nation, with his Verbally Vicious bretheren in tow, which features fellow Minnesota Comedians Daryl Horner, Kevin Craft, and Carly McMenoman.

"Verbally Vicious stands for everything I believe in: Taking everything taboo, or over the top, too racial, too sexual, or too dangerous for most comics to do, rolling it into an act, and proving that there truly is comedy in all aspects of life. I like showing that you can’t have any expectations. Some people preach it. We live it. We perform it."

This summer of 2008, Josh will release his first DVD/CD offering entitled "Honest Brutality."

"Honest Brutality is really the best way to describe how I live my life, and what my comedy is about. So many people in this world are afraid to say what the feel, what they believe in, what they love, what they hate...we are afraid to define who we are for the world to see. Honest communication is what will FORCE us to evolve intellectually as a species, and I believe that so much, that I unleash it without regard for human emotion, or people’s feelings. It’s more than Brutal Honesty. It’s Honest Brutality."

In 2009 the evolution of Josh's comedy continues, with a new perspective and intent wrapped in humor.

"I’d like to think there is a message in what I do. I think the level of ridiculous in my comedy parallels the level of ridiculous in the world today. I might change the way you look at your life and the people in it and around it, but if all I do is make you piss your pants, that’s pretty cool too."
