Josh Pugh
Offbeat ideas, strong imagery and dry observational asides, he finds laughs in unusual places. A promising voice Steve Bennett (Chortle)

A keen comic mind. Bruce Dessau (London Evening Standard)
But that’s enough about his multiple award-winning status. More importantly, he’s funny. That’s why he does well in competitions, with confident and clever writing that takes you off on glorious tangents. Steve Bennett of Chortle.co.uk calls him a “promising voice” who “finds laughs in unusual places” whilst The Londonest says he’s “pleasingly off the beaten track”. Josh has a unique, interesting and funny voice with a very exciting future.
Pleasingly off the beaten track. The Londonest
