Josh Wade
Josh Wade uses a combination of his sharp wit and YouTube to join a new breed of new media performers sending their global audiences into a frenzy.
First creating viral online content from his Townsville home at just 13, Josh developed a passion for acting, comedy and video production. He continued to deliver his own viral videos throughout his teenage years before a growing fan base and early success encouraged him to craft and adapt his online material into a one hour solo stand-up comedy show.
In 2014, Josh performed his debut show I’m Josh Wade at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival, receiving rave reviews for a string of 33 sold out shows.
Josh is listed in the Top 100 Australian YouTubers and has garnered one of the largest comedy fanbases in Australia with a combined 850,000 subscribers and 20 million hits across all platforms.
Josh’s online comedy career skyrocketed at the beginning of 2013 with the release of his comedic sketch “Sh!t Aussies Say” and hugely popular ‘wacky’ street interviews with the general public in his series ‘Aussie Opinion’. These and various other ‘sketch comedy’ and ‘public interview’ clips thrust Josh out of his hometown of Townsville into the bright lights of Los Angeles where he has filmed his series ‘A Guide to America’ and is currently filming his latest series ‘Venice Vibes’ – in which he travels the US and explores the good, the bad and the ugly, and gives his comedic outlook on the real America.
Josh’s online presence continues to thrive, garnering him thousands of new fans each day. This young comedian has cemented himself as a worldwide prospect for Australian comedy and beyond.
“Wade is still in his teens, but he already has his act honed. Rapid-fire, high energy, potty-mouthed, he is also an excellent ad-libber.” Herald Sun
