Hat tip to the Jewish Blogmeister for the 411 that Josh Blue slayed the audience enough times to become the Last Comic Standing. (I didn’t know Blue was Jewish, but I trust the Blogmeister.)
From Josh’s bio:
A gifted stand-up comedian and talented U.S. Paralympic soccer player, Josh Blue refuses to bow to any of the challenges that come from living with cerebral palsy. He jokes, “I realize that people are going to stare so I want to give them something to stare at.”
Elevating self-deprecation to an art form, this guy blasts through stereotypes about people with disabilities. Though it’s far from his only subject matter, some of Josh’s funniest gags spring from his disability (his “bad arm” routine is so wicked you wonder if its legal.)
From his phenomenal web site:
Its been overwhelming to say the least and Im crippled by your support. I wish I had the time to personally respond but lets just say Im a slow typer I started this on Wednesday. One finger typing can be a bitch.
The dude’s hilarious and dare I say … sexy? Check this Last Comic Standing clip if you missed the season. The world will surely be hearing more from Josh Blue, Jew or not.
For the record I never indicated Josh Blue was Jewish. This information would make it seem quite the contrary. However I thought the fact that he won was inspiring.
Right, born to missionaries in Africa…nope, probably not Jewish. But funny and sexy, still…
