More about Josh
Fitting heavy Lincoln Center broadway play rehearsals between quippy UPS commercials in New York City taught Josh Shirley how to use epic, intellectual stories to send life’s most straightforward messages.
So when the brutality of parenthood brought him to Kansas City, he began writing and performing jokes that are most enjoyed by audiences who think comics like Tig Notaro or Nate Bargatze don't come through town often enough.
