|---|---|
| Josh, could you describe the impact being a member of the US Paralympic Soccer team had on you? Also do you think retired captain Josh McKinney deserves to be in the US Soccer Hall of Fame? What kind of impact did he have on you as a teammate? | It opened my eyes to what was possible in this world. I didn't even know there was a place for disabled people to play sports until I was out of college. The realization that for a little time I was one of the best CP soccer players in the world was a release for me. And Josh McKinney definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame...and I'm not just saying that because he's my best friend on the team. |
| What was it like spending time in Africa??? | Living in Africa made me the man that I am today. Africa is a place that you cannot describe to anyone that has not been there. What Africa did for me, it made me realize that having a disability didn't give me an excuse to not succeed. |
| Do you have a regular slot at the improv or comedy works? | Not a regular one, but let's just say I am represented by Comedy Works so they let me perform whenever. My next scheduled show is December 19-21, a great Christmas gift idea! I know you want me to stuff your stocking. |
| I'm a letter carrier and I listen to comedy podcasts way to much. I'm always surprised at how much drama and animosity there seems to be between comics. So just to egg it on, who is the biggest dick/bitch in the biz? And do you have a podcast? | Honestly, I try not to have beef with anybody. To me there are enough laughs to go around. Why spit on somebody for their accomplishments...even if it is not my cup of tea. I have a brilliant idea for a podcast, but I need encouragement! I've tried to set it up a few times, but am still figuring out logistics. |
| What's your finest joke? Hit me with it | Standup isn't like telling a joke, it's more like a situational event. One joke taken out of context may not work on the screen, you just have to come to a show and decide for yourself. |
| Has making light of your cp in your comedy made it easier to live with at all? | It definitely makes it easier. Wouldn't you rather laugh than cry? Plus you know...all the sympathy. It doesn't make it go away though, so it is still something I have to deal with everyday. |
| Yo man, do you collect swords by any chance? | I do. Not just swords, I likes axes too...and knives...and morning stars, and just about any bludgeoning tool-especially the Gunstock War Club that Crazy Horse used. |
| I love how you dealt with the heckler on the famous youtube video. Any more stories similar to that? | I am not sure which video you are talking about, I deal with them all the time though. With our technology the way it is, people post my material without me knowing all the time. |
| What made you start comedy? Any barriers starting your career as a standup comedian? | I'm funny. |
| There were lots of barriers. People assuming that due to my disability I would not be able to form a thought, let alone be funny. | |
| When did u decide that you'd step on stage for the first time? and did you have something planned to say, or did you go up there and wing it? I'm too scared to go up on open mic nights. | I just started in college at an open mic for poetry and music. Terrified, but it was exhilarating. Once I got a taste, I had to do it more. |
| Hey Josh, huge fan! I know you are damn funny, but do you feel like some people see your shows because of your disability more than for your comedy? | I don't care why they come, as long as they buy a ticket. But no, I don't believe that I am a freakshow for people to come look at. If I was not funny then there is only so much that you could take. |
| Would you rather fight for your life with 30 duck-sized elephants, or 1 elephant-sized duck? | Hmm, well I think I have a better chance with the 30 duck-sized elephants because I saw my chicken eat three fucking mice the other day, and they did not have a chance. |
| Good afternoon, This is a two part question. First who inspired you to do comedy? Second to what effect have your inspirations influenced your act? | Bill Cosby was one, he's just up there talking but it is the funniest shit you've ever heard. He's influenced my act through my storytelling ability. |
| Hey Josh! Handsome beard. Personal question; How much do you feel a pressure or urge to be funny (at times when you don't have to be funny so not at a gig or something)? - and how do you handle it if you do? | Are you asking me to be funny right now, in this response? Because if you are, I am not taking it well. I've never felt the need to be funny, it's just what comes out. |
| What advice do you have for someone just getting into comedy in an area where there are very few venues and like many new comics don't have a large travel budget? | Don't bother, I've got that shit covered. Just kidding, to be a good comic you have to travel. Find a way to eat, live, and breathe comedy...and then shit it out. |
| Did you go to Como Park High School in Minnesota? | Yes, I graduated in 97. I was the only one of my siblings to attend a public school, and look what happened. |
| What does it mean?!?!?!?! | Have you ever seen what happens? Just go do it. I mean...don't. |
| U make us all laugh alot so my question is who makes u laugh the most? | My kids. My friends, well some of them. Chris Rock, Mitch Hedberg, Troy Baxley, hippie man, and the Grawlix. |
| What is the lamest joke that's actually funny you've encountered? | What's the difference between a refrigerator and a kangaroo? |
| What are you fucking retarded? | |
| Now since 108 Stitches, thinking about doing more movies? | I was thinking about doing more movies before that. I always thought I'd be a great villain. |
| He just made me want to put lemon in my milk to understand it... or is this a deep, eye opening metaphor! | Well, my mom told me never to do it. So one day I waited for her to leave and I did it and took a big swig, and I threw up all over myself. |
| Did you ever go to Maggie Mooo's? | I have a friend named Maggie, and I don't appreciate you calling her fat. |
| Why did the chicken cross the road? | There are no stupid questions, but this one is really pushing it. |
| Who's Deekie Martin? Is that story about the gerbil true, or am I confusing him with Richard Gere? | Deekie's incident with the gerbil is not public knowledge. That is all. |
| How much impact did last comic have on your career? Would you do it again, given the chance? | Yeah, Last Comic blew the doors off. I would definitely do it again. |
| Josh me being the father of a young girl who suffers from a similar level of palsy as yourself what kind of advice should I give her on dealing with children who view her as being different? | I guess, let her know that her body might work differently, but her brain is right there with them. It is probably even more advanced. |
| Favourite Disney Movie? | Aladdin. Robin Williams' performance was amazing. |
| Just wanted to say that you are awesome josh blue. What is your all time favorite video game? On any system. | Are you serious? I can't even tie my own fucking shoes, what controller am I going to use? |
| How frequently are you mixed up with a young Daniel Stern? | Unfortunately it is more often Screech from Saved by the Bell. |
| Hey Josh! This is the fan that bull-rushed you at the Jack White concert at Red Rocks. Whats your favorite part about living in Denver? | Where do I begin? Legal weed is pretty phenomenal. Over 300 days of sunshine ain't bad either. |
| What's the best thing about girls? | Their ability to drive me completely insane. |
| Hey josh, when are you coming to San Antonio to do a show? Youre on my Must See list. LOL Comedy Club is where its at! | Check http://ift.tt/1ol1LHi That is where I go to find out where I am going. |
| Hey Josh, As a fellow Evergreen Alum, I've got to ask what was your favorite program you took there? Or who was your favorite teacher? | A creative writing class with Bill Ransom. Go Geoducks! |
| Hi Josh, was just wondering IF you were gay would you be a top or a bottom? :) | I'd be the guy in the middle, best of all worlds. |
| If you could share one life lesson what would it be? | Don't drink milk with lemon in it. |
| I think you need to elaborate to how you learned this life lesson. | Another life lesson, don't trust lions, or any wild beast really. |
| Does having CP make it difficult to have sex? Also, do you feel that you are funnier than Dane Cook? | Why don't you come find out? |
| If you were to appear on Comedy Central's Drunk History, what historical person would you talk about? | Crazy Horse...because he's a bad motherfucker. |
