His material is just very typical for a black Comedian. Without race he would lose 75% of his routine. He’s very, very standard.

Ha! No.
If you’d said “without the news” instead, maybe I’d think this was a genuine comment.🧌

I follow Josh on his Youtube channel. He’s amazing. I know it is going to be a good day when a new video of his drops. He does a good 30 to 40 minutes of funny material every week or so. That’s mind blowing!

I just love this man. So down to earth. He’s incredibly talented and is pushing out content for free on the regular that is all new all the time. Which is unheard of in his level of comedic chops. He could be selling his shows for thousands but keeps them available. May all the good things come to josh.

I’ve been hooked on his content since he opened for Trevor on the Loud and Clear tour. Wonderful entertainer 👑

Great interview. I’m so happy I got to see Josh’s show in DC.

People say that George Carlin and Louis CK are the best stand ups of all time because they write a new set every year. Josh Johnson makes a brand new set every week while also writing for The Daily Show, and he kills it every time. I see a huge future for Josh.

Josh Johnson is hands down the funniest comedian of his generation. Absolutely phenomenal in every performance & I don’t think I’ve heard him tell the same joke or story twice. In a word, amazing. I sat in the chat with nearly 16k other fun loving fools watching his last video premiere here on YT & had a helluva good time. Just keep doing what you do, Josh. You’ve most certainly got this.

I’ve been following Josh for a few years now and it’s been awesome to see him only get better and better with time. I love that he always has fresh material – like someone else already commented, he really does show that quantity and quality can go hand-in-hand when done right! Excited to see him in STL this November 🙂
