Who is Josh Branham? Who Cares??? Well you do, apparently! Josh Branham is a man, a big man. Though not so big, and not much of a man. His comedy is cerebral, yet simple. Josh’s unabashed views of life as he searches for love and money, whichever comes first, has led to numerous appearances at clubs & colleges across the United States. Sometimes to perform.
Josh was born in the Midwest, but he was raised in small-town Kentucky. Josh always knew he wanted to be a comedian, but it took him awhile to grow some…courage. In 2003 he performed stand-up for the first time at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles after realizing he had no self-esteem to risk.
Josh’s family provides the backdrop to his comedy, and perhaps some explanations. Mix a very conservative father with a mother who thinks she’s an American idol, add an Aunt Jerry and an Uncle Sherry, a heavy dose of embarrassment, four redneck siblings, and finish with a twist of irony. It’s a recipe everyone can enjoy!
Josh has featured for Bob & Tom favorites Etta May and Mike Armstrong as well as a host of other headlining comedians. His performances includes stops at:
Comedy Off Broadway; Lexington, Kentucky

I prefer magazines. Especially ones that come out monthly and have foldout sections.
SEC is tough, but the OCC (Ohio Central Conference) is the one to watch this year! Gahanna Middle School East 7th Grade is looking to step it up and make a run this season. Don't count them out!
