Josh Dweh is a stand-up comedian, & writer from Philadelphia. He currently lives in Denver & performs around the country. You can follow him — @joshdweh — on all socials.
Josh grew up on the southwest side of Philly & his parents divorced when he was seven. We talked a lot during this episode about each of our lives since we had never really met before hanging for this recording. It didn’t take long for us to bond over our shared love of comedy.
Josh has lived a life filled with adversity. His mother became a missing person when he was young and has not been found. No setback has stopped Josh’s drive & ambition to prove his mom right and make her proud by spreading laughter through his comedy.
We discuss the disproportionate justice system in the United States, recovery, recidivism, and Josh shares an in depth walk through his life growing up with his sisters in less than glamorous conditions after his parent’s divorce. Josh tells us how he first found stand-up when his mom would bring comedy albums home — at one point his mom worked managing local artists — this coupled with her complete belief in him would lead him to his first open mic at age 16.
His life story has already been great and it’s only just begun. Huge thanks to Josh for his kindness and belief in what we’ve got going on with InTALLerable. Go see him do stand-up!!
