Blue has released multiple stand-up specials across platforms including Comedy Central, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Bravo, highlighted by Sticky Change and DELETE, and became the first comedian to debut a special in movie theaters nationwide with 7 More Days in the Tank. His work extends beyond stand-up into radio, podcasts, and music, including Josh Blue and the Hooligan Stew Review, often described as “Tom Waits meets the Muppets.”
Known for breaking down stereotypes around disability with humor that is both unfiltered and self-aware, Blue has been widely described as a comedian who happens to have cerebral palsy rather than being defined by it. Outside of comedy, he represented the United States in eight countries as a member of the U.S. Paralympic soccer team, including the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, and lives in Denver, Colorado with his children.
