I Have Cerebral Palsy and I'm Making It Everyone's Problem

Who is Josh Blue?

Josh Blue is an American stand-up comedian from Denver who won NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2006 and finished third on NBC's America's Got Talent in 2021. He performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and at the Just for Laughs festival's William H. Macy Gala in 2018, recorded his hour Broccoli at his home club, Comedy Works in Denver, and released Freak Accident through 800 Pound Gorilla in 2024.

He played for the U.S. Paralympic soccer team, including at the 2004 Games in Athens, wrote the book Something to Stare At, and plays more than 200 shows a year, his comedy breaking down stereotypes about people with disabilities. He plays Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on 15 October 2026 and the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on 16 October, headlines Side Splitters in Tampa from 22 to 24 October, and tapes a special at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts in Denver on 19 December.

Broccoli was his fifth hour special. As a member of the U.S. Paralympic soccer team he represented the United States in eight countries, and his stand-up is always evolving, with off-the-cuff improvising that makes no two shows alike.

He was one of the acts on America's Got Talent: All-Stars.
