Rock, Pryor, Carlin, Klein, Chappelle, Myers, R. Fox to name a few, but most of all my mother and father
TV Shows
The Maury Show, and no I was not the father.
Josh Homer's Interests
General
Comedy, IMPROV, movies, theatre, and of course boobies.
Music
Jay-Z, The Legendary Roots Crew, Kanye West (the music not the man), Amy Winehouse, Pharoahe Monch , De La Soul, NIN, Killers, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, KORN, Mars Volta, Wu Tang, Supremes, and many many more. I love good music, where the people actually sing and write good songs. Sad to say most of the stuff out now i would not wipe my azz with.
Movies
Count of MC, Man on Fire, Braveheart, The Thing (both, one of the few times i think a remake was good), Star Wars, Kunf Fu Hustle, Shoilin Soccer, old Kung Fu Movies, Matrix 1 and 2 (I erased 3 from my brain by licking a car battery), and pretty much any movie that makes me laugh. X Men 1 and 2 (F*ck Brett Ratner for ruining it all), The Host, David Mamet films
Check out my funny films done by me and my friends.
Television
Golden Girls is hilarious. Look at Blance's sexy eyes
Wonder Showzen makes me pee myself up Then i watch other shows like CSI, MTB4 (Mike Biv turned into a house n!gga for real), and crap like that that does not make me laugh.
Books
Books are for suckers. If it's that good of a book it will be made into a movie, Harry Potter style.
Here's my comedy central clips, yeah yeah I know they give away the punchlines of my jokes, but who cares, I was on TV.

It is the year of the mixed kid!!!!! I was chosen as one of 10 emerging comics by the NYUCF, the largest comedy festival in the world! Click on the picture for details (scroll down to see me, as myspace will not let me link directly to my section on the page). The show was held on Oct 2nd 2007, it was filled with great comics and we halirity was had by all. At the end of the night they announced me as the winner (comdey subjective, so I can say although they named me winner all the comics where great, and I was shocked to win). First Tiger wins another championship, then Sabra wins So You Think You Can Dance, and now this. I'm telling you it's the year of the mixed kid!
Born out of forbidden love back in the late seventies, I grew up a mild mannered child. It was not until the age of ten when my massive porno collection was discovered by my mom, and seen by my entire family did I realize my true destiny: to do stand up comedy.
You can catch me performing all over NYC, including but not limited to subway stations, back alleys, and crack dens.
Also I love the Golden Girls, Blance was one hot momma
Who I'd like to meet: God and the Devil, they seem like pretty cool people. I'd like to meet Beyonce and Tyra Banks so I can snatch off their wigs. Chris Rock because he is funny as hell. I already met Dave Chappelle, and it did not go like i planned. I almost got beat up by his body guards, but thanks to fellow comedian Kurt M, I lived to see another day.
