Taking a two-year hiatus to enter seminary, Josh returned to the stage with a master’s degree and a fresh perspective. He soon performed another nationally televised set on Huckabee, where the featured guest that evening was the lead actor from the major motion picture Sound of Hope. In September 2024, he began co-hosting a morning show on Atlanta’s Catholic radio station AM 1160 The Quest.
Beyond stand-up, Josh has worked for Cartoon Network Online, starred in a television pilot for the History Channel, and saw his debut musical comedy album briefly hit #3 on the iTunes Comedy charts.
