Josh Sneed is quickly making his mark as one of the top young comics in the business, and for the purpose of this bio, has become skilled in the art of writing in the third person. After quitting a comfy day job working for Procter & Gamble, he’s made excellent strides in following his passion for making people laugh working with such acts as Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, and the late Mitch Hedberg.
In 2008, Josh finished 2nd out of 100 of Comedy Central’s top comedians in the annual “Stand-up Showdown”, earning him a deal to record a new album on Comedy Central Records. The album, entitled “Unacceptable” was selected by iTunes as one of the “10 Best Comedy Albums of 2008”. Josh also filmed a 30-minute special for the network entitled “Comedy Central Presents: Josh Sneed” that is currently re-airing, and has also been seen on “Premium Blend”. In November of 2006, Josh placed 6th in the Sierra Mist/MySpace Stand-up or Sit Down Challenge out of over 2,000 entrants. Finishing high in competitions is nothing new to Josh. In 4th grade he earned a blue ribbon for throwing a softball through a tire.
In 2004, he performed at the Just For Laugh’s Montreal Comedy Festival in the "New Faces of Comedy" group, one of the highest honors that a comedian at his level can achieve. Josh has also be seen performing in large venue theaters across the country as an opening act for the various members of "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour", has made several appearances on "The Bob & Tom Show", and his viral YouTube internet videos have developed quite the cult following.
He also has his own line of hilarious t-shirts, adult footed pajamas, and baby clothes, www.lookatmeshirts.com.

Please take a second to sign up for my mailing list. I promise it's safe and it's totally worth it. It'll let you know when I'm going to be on TV, come to your town, and other pertinent info. Keep in mind that if you sign up, I'll be your best friend. Just throwing that out there...
Also, I've got a brand new website up. Give it a looksee by clicking the link below and let me know what you think. I've even added a games page where you can play PacMan and Battleship when you get bored.
Last year, I started my own t-shirt company, www.lookatmeshirts.com. We have over 200 designs that I am VERY proud of. Take a glance at all of them in the "New Shirts!" section. Cincinnati CityBeat magazine made us a staff pick in their 2007 "Best of Cincinnati" issue that hit the stands yesterday for "Best Use of Cotton and Comedy". It's the first profile on my Top Friends, so add Look At Me Shirts to your buddy list as well.
I've posted some blogs from my website, and if you want to see more pics, hear clips of my CD, or just see some other funny stuff, check out my website. When you get there, please sign up for the mailing list. I won't send SPAM or sell your email address to anyone. I'd just like to let you know when I'll be on TV again or coming to a town near you.
Hope to see you out there.
Who I'd like to meet: Fans of stand-up comedy everywhere. People who don't want to tell me jokes after the show. People who don't say, "You can use this if you want to." and then proceed to say the most racist thing ever. People who don't demand me to be funny when they find out I'm a comedian.
My husband and I saw you for the first time last night in KC. His name is Josh and my last name is Snead. We saw this as a sign to catch your show. Thanks for being so damn hilarious! We'll definitly be there next time you're in town.
