Josh Glanc is an Australian comedian who moved to London from Melbourne to chase his ambition of working in the showbiz industry and I for one am glad he did. Josh enters the auditorium wearing unusual attire that instantly gets the audience laughing and connects them to his style of humour.

He begins the show a little confused before singing his opening song with pretty decent vocals. His signature Family Man song is very well written and received but the songs relating to how he met his wife were hilarious and very well performed.

During the performance, Josh gives us old man, young man and a pervy man with a camera, who make an appearance throughout the show and at the right time for the audience to appreciate the hilarity of it. Without giving the plot away, Josh has to reset his performance which coupled with his facial expressions is extremely funny. Did you ever think you would hear a song about a Lanyard, well Josh has one!

Josh also adds a bit of improv into the show with the assistance of unsuspecting audience members, some of which are invited on to the stage to be part of the calamity.

Josh Glanc is a talented performer who has his audience laughing from start to finish. It’s a must see show at this year’s fringe and I’d expect many of his shows to be sold out.
