I love to see white people succeed... just kidding, that would be racist, right? I like this comedy, but when you're calling out racism please remember that if you care about the medal winners skin colour then you are being a bit racist yourself. That's a white job, ha.
@@alisonjohnson1701 it means illegals are taking jobs traditionally performed by black men especially men who were incarcerated and can’t find work so easily. They probably pay illegals less too it’s a problem.
Love the Black Woman Summer! I saw somewhere that Simone Biles commented, ‘I love my black job.’ Except hers really is a black job - no one else is doing what she’s doing.
@@FunkyLittlePoptartI checked her wikipedia page for how many medals she has, saw a section called _skills_ (which apparently is the term for the "tricks" so to speak). So it was like a "greatest hits" list of her hardest tricks. And a bunch of them are just called "Biles" (or Biles II, the sequel) and have descriptions like "Biles is the only woman to have performed the Biles vault"
@@metallsnubben I swear that all those noodles going on about the boxer being a man are going to go off about her being part bird or something. I cannot even begin to imagine the level of devotion and sacrifice it takes to be the GOAT in a sport that hard. How long before they stop calling it gymnastics and just start with "Bilesing?"
And when Simone lost it was against another black woman (Rebeca Andrade) and the third place went to, you guessed, another black athlete (Jordan Chiles) This is really Black Women Summer both sides of the pond
That was for floor. Simone won 3 gold medals (Teams, All Around, and Vault) and got a silver for Floor. She unfortunately didn't medal for Beam due to an uncharacteristic fall, but given that it's usually unlikely for the All Around gold medalists to medal in other events (mostly because they used all of their energy to get the All Around medal, that's normal (it's kind of what happened with Sunisa Lee, and even then she still got bronze in Bars). (Though I know this is off topic, the Italians surprised everyone by having an Italian gold medalist for Beam and they won silver for Teams. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but Italy NEVER medals, it's usually the USA, China, Russia or Romania who medal. Both Italy and Brazil were dark horses this year, Italy more so since they don't even have their own Rebeca Andrade and they did as usual in the last Olympics) Frankly, a lot of people aren't also talking about how both Simone Biles and even Rebeca Andrade are also outliers since there's not many Olympic Gymnasts who are 27 and 25 and competing at their level. At their age, many gymnasts are retiring and both medalled!
They were all very talented, gifted, disciplined, high performing, young women. All of them beautiful, with beautifully colored skin of varying hues. None of them were black.
@@anotherpointofview222Now we’re playing semantic games about whether Black people are the color black? Are you under the impression that White people are actually white and Asian people are actually yellow?
Only Josh can make me go from cracking up about ridiculous physical comedy to making me deeply ponder a societal assumption - and then back. The best kind of whiplash.
It almost seems like he's just having a really funny conversation, And then whenever he says serious stuff I haven't yet heard him say anything that I disagree with, he's never said anything racist or rude that I have heard. He seems like a really smart dude and it seems like comedy just comes super effortlessly to him and that's why he's been my favourite comedian lately. It just seems so genuine while still being hilarious.
@@susanheinz5804 Democrats are crazy with their racism victim hood. So desperate that they take an Indian as black. (Obama was half white as well.) Glad that Simone loves her Black job. But how many blacks are doing her job and getting paid for it? Obviously he wasn't talking about you!
I just LOVE the fact that this young man is absolutely hi-LAR-ious without using a single cuss word! I've been cry-laughing through his whole set! 😂🤣😂😭🤣😂
I legitimately do not understand how you manage to crank out the quantity of absolutely GOLDEN material that you do week after week. I am in awe of your abilities.
Comedians have such a natural ability to turn their trauma into humor. I have a cousin like that, his stories are wildly funny but it makes you wonder if it really happened or is he just that hilarious?! I believe it's both.
@alarin612 The Bridgerton sons have many hobbies & fencing is one. It is shown on screen too. However much more screen time is given to boxing & they spectate more than they participate. If you're going to say "this didn't happen on this show" it's best to be caught up with all the seasons and episodes. Now that said, nobody NEEDS to watch Bridgerton. It just strikes me if you want to be pedantic enough to correct people, at least be correct.
Instinctual response since you are most vulnerable in the dark to any potential predator lurking around. Read a study but it was like a decade ago apparently we subconsciously go into alert mode in the dark especially when outdoors with a lot of vegetation.
I am not your target audience Josh. I am a white female senior citizen living in Indiana. But you make me laugh so hard!! I love everything about your comedy and get excited every time I see you post! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Lauren Scruggs is the first black *american* woman to win an individual medal in fencing, France's Laura Flessel is actually the first black woman to win in 1996
Thanks for reminding us of that. Also, if my memory serves, there is a black American Muslim family that fences so we have been on the scene for a while.

Me…being the 11year old Taurus that I was…the entire time I was standing there with my arms crossed. I looked at her and said “ are you done”?!!! Years later she told me she could have killed me lol! Little did she know…afterwards, I went outside, crawled under the porch, covered my mouth and cried. Told myself that I’ll never let anyone who physically hurt me, see me cry😢 as an adult I understand what she was trying to do, it’s really difficult raising children with no family support. But she is my favorite badazz❤ there is nothing we won’t do for her and the respect all of us show her is rare (or so we’ve been told).

Years ago my husband and I went to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer at a place that served drinks. When we got home he spent the evening trying to do cartwheels. He was in some pain the next day. The last time I did a cartwheel i smacked my foot on a sturdy table. Simone has the most unimaginable strong body.
I was there as a birthday surprise, because I did not know where I was going I looked at the HUGE crowd. I saw young, old, people of all races, preppy to grunge, conservative to eccentric people. There was no way for me to guess. I did NOT look at the marquee and the people in line said nothing. When the two people came on stage I closed my ears, and then figured out it was comedy. I closed my ears until the HEADLINER came on and it was JOSH. I was excited, I almost screamed. I smiled so hard and laughed even harder. Great show, did not disappoint. The crowd that was there to see him is a testament to how good he is. We were able to met him and he is uber nice. GREAT SHOW from one of my favorite young comedians!!!!!!
Laughing till I cried! Got me going with "pick your switch"! I am 65, white and raised in Memphis Tn. Southern Grandmas in general practiced that same dark art of discipline.
What I find impressive about this set is how polished it is even though it’s about stuff that just happened. It had the feel of a set that had been worked on and tested for awhile and not the less polished evening monologue of a late night show.
I think the funniest part about the eating in the dark story is that no one else said anything about the dark, and no one thought to turn on the flashlight on their phone and set it on the table as a light.
I think that would help but the range span of the light wouldn’t that great especially if it’s lying flat on the table. Lighting Candles would be the better option. Most people I know keep candles and real deal flashlights in case of power outages from storms.
Sigh the story is prefaced with the idea that the host unwittingly chose the perfect guests who would absolutely not take any initiative without the host's acknowledgment of a situation change. Even just quietly turning on their phone light would hit the same proactive beat as asking aloud why the lights went out. Whether you find that believable is up to you, but I thought he sold it well enough that I didn't have that "fake!!!! FAKE" gut response.
My mom sent me a video a few days ago and I am addicted. You are seriously the light in the darkness. Thank you for your humor and the way in which you deliver it. We are in Utah and I could afford it I’d buy 2 tickets to your show here in Feb. you are killing it
@@wolvmarine313 Wrong. She is Indian, but identifies as black. Has several clips of her proudly saying she is Indian. Are you seriously letting her new campaign southern accent deceive you?
I am SO HAPPY I have found your comedy. What a gift you have, Josh...I hope to see you live someday soon. Your ability to blend everyday life observation with social commentary reminds me of the late, great Paul Mooney.
Task done - in spite of tech making me have to redo part of it 🙄 . Took 3x as long but I earned it. Watched the set for my reward! 🎉 This was a good show. I’m so glad to see Josh commanding this big venue. Keep up the good grind everyone. The right hard work pays off!
Im 55 and love the way his brain works! Overanylizers and over thinkers get it. But hell say it out loud! The charm and mannerly young man he is just adds to it! And he relates to EVERYONE! Its all things weve thought n never said! He is a RARE talent!!! And he keeps it pg! Salute to who raised him!
Dear Josh Johnson, It was great and surreal to see my favourite duo, you and Logan, live, in Atlanta this past Saturday!!!! Every so often during your show, I almost had to pinch myself to confirm that I wasn't dreaming! Thank you guys for coming!!!!
I suffer from paranoia. And I basically sabotaged my own career,because I was afraid that very evil people rule the world and I would be used and abused by them if I pursued my career. Seeing such a decent human being like you josh,I know that’s not true. You inspired me to revitalize my music. Which actually gave me a little peace in this chaotic world. Thank you so much. I think you’re the next Dave Chappelle and I got tears rolling down my cheek as I say this. I love you bro 🙏🏽❤️💯

Hi Josh, I just subscribed to your channel yesterday and thanks for the acknowledgement! You are just HILARIOUS! 😆 I'm just CRACKING UP & CRYING at the same time!! 🤣 You are such a DELIGHT! I'm so very Proud of you!! I am definitely a FAN!!You are so handsome with so much swagger and like I said in my previous post, you really remind me of my son & I'm so proud of him too!! You're an amazing young Black Man!! Keep on doing what you're doing because it's working!!! 👍
Especially when I'm struggling with what I like. I don't want to be rude but if the texture/saltiness/not used to it is hurting me, it feels like forever.
What I loooove about the clips I have seen so far is they are genuinely funny. Based on simple observations and reflections, without the need of constantly using profanity.
His keen observational skills and intelligence coming together as his comedic skills and timing is like no other of his generation. Great to see you grow week over week!
Thank You. You had me laughing with tears, at the no lights dinner. You are by far, my favorite comedian. 😂🤣 And it’s a Black Women’s Summer, Fall, and the next 4 years. ❤️🤍💙
I felt so attacked as a French when he said "the first Black woman to get a gold medal in fencing"! I know many Americans do not care about fencing (that's ok) and font know anything about other countries (that's NOT okay), but Laura Flessel is a LEGEND in France, and I think she's pretty famous worldwide, as far as "fencing famous" carries you. She's the only fencer most people in France can name anyway. Just a small comment to educate you. BTW, her first two gold medals were won in the USA, in Atlanta in 1996!
Your beef is with education structure on a grand scale. Plus not everyone watches the Olympics to recall names. I can say it’s possible you’re not familiar with what goes on here in America regarding African Americans from what you just said here & that would still be due to information available or lacking. You gotta be here to know just like we got to be there to know is what it is.

My mom made ME doing the dishes when I was a teenager.
Think about it, lady.
Love it. I'm that old, too, and from the South.
This man has a new set EVERY WEEK this man is WORKING
Years ago my husband and I went to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer at a place that served drinks. When we got home he spent the evening trying to do cartwheels. He was in some pain the next day. The last time I did a cartwheel i smacked my foot on a sturdy table.
Simone has the most unimaginable strong body.
Josh so grateful you are sharing your talent with us! Makes my world a happier place.
I love smart comedians!! His work is well thought out and hilarious! 😂 😂
I was there as a birthday surprise, because I did not know where I was going I looked at the HUGE crowd. I saw young, old, people of all races, preppy to grunge, conservative to eccentric people. There was no way for me to guess. I did NOT look at the marquee and the people in line said nothing. When the two people came on stage I closed my ears, and then figured out it was comedy. I closed my ears until the HEADLINER came on and it was JOSH. I was excited, I almost screamed. I smiled so hard and laughed even harder. Great show, did not disappoint. The crowd that was there to see him is a testament to how good he is. We were able to met him and he is uber nice. GREAT SHOW from one of my favorite young comedians!!!!!!
Live performance roulette? I love it.
What a treat!
Re simone biles bit: “y’all she gone. She’s going to space!”
😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Laughing till I cried! Got me going with "pick your switch"! I am 65, white and raised in Memphis Tn. Southern Grandmas in general practiced that same dark art of discipline.
What I find impressive about this set is how polished it is even though it’s about stuff that just happened. It had the feel of a set that had been worked on and tested for awhile and not the less polished evening monologue of a late night show.
Josh is such a great story teller and comedian. He keeps me laughing and thinking. Thanks Josh 👍
I love how in this hypothetical Josh and his friends had rather sat in the dark then just turn their flashlights on 😭😭😭😭
Well I mean taking your phone out at dinner would just be rude, y'know?
You think this fellow would invest in some cheap 🕯️ candles to keep around if reg occurence 😂
@@HellaGustI mean you could put your phone face down on the table and then face the flashlight up so there’s a light source
I mean there are pop up dinner experiences called dinner in the dark so it wouldn’t be implausible
I think the funniest part about the eating in the dark story is that no one else said anything about the dark, and no one thought to turn on the flashlight on their phone and set it on the table as a light.
I think that would help but the range span of the light wouldn’t that great especially if it’s lying flat on the table. Lighting Candles would be the better option. Most people I know keep candles and real deal flashlights in case of power outages from storms.
It felt like an Atlanta episode lmao
@@anndeecosita3586 the light would be facing up. Much brighter than a candle which not many people have.
That's how you know it's a bit, not true story
Sigh the story is prefaced with the idea that the host unwittingly chose the perfect guests who would absolutely not take any initiative without the host's acknowledgment of a situation change. Even just quietly turning on their phone light would hit the same proactive beat as asking aloud why the lights went out. Whether you find that believable is up to you, but I thought he sold it well enough that I didn't have that "fake!!!! FAKE" gut response.
Props to the editor, the zoom game is on point.
I'm at the point where I think the editor feels like they might be overpaid and is trying to earn it.
Yes! I notice those skills, makes the segment even funnier
😂😂😂
I think the props should go to the camera operator…
when my grandma told me to go *pick a switch* one time, i just never came back inside and she forgot all about it.
Sadly my mother waited at the door. Eye contact and everything
8:05 "..I can see...I can see...nah I can't see anything..."🤣🤣🤣
Josh is so talented at storytelling, that dinner story is freaking hilarious but his delivery made it like 1000% funnier 😂🤣
Okay whoever on the editing team doing the zooms needs a RAISE 😂😂 cuz Josh alone is funny but these random closeups have me wheeeeezing
Please don't give the editor(s) more money; we'll start getting sudden closeups of Josh's shoes or just one eye as it widens slightly.
The editing has been phenomenal
Def noticed the change a few weeks ago ! Top tier🔥😂
This is the truth
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You don't need to whisper, it's just dark." Made me actually spit my tea out 😂
My mom sent me a video a few days ago and I am addicted. You are seriously the light in the darkness. Thank you for your humor and the way in which you deliver it. We are in Utah and I could afford it I’d buy 2 tickets to your show here in Feb. you are killing it
Great routine. But you had me at "pick your switch" 🤣🤣🤣
I used to live in SF and went to comedy clubs often, Josh Tuesdays lets me feel like I'm back in the dark room, laughing with strangers. ❤
U lived in small forward 🤨
@@kingtut8133 😄
So nice- especially in the time we are currently living. He is like magic for laughter.😂
I've not had the opportunity to go to one yet, but that sounds really really nice :]
That's the joy of being there isn't it? Not just the person doing the funnies, it's enjoying them with others.
the level of his genius is crazy
Honestly I can say Josh has improved so much in such a short time. He makes me belllly laugh.
Apparently, I've been under a rock cause I am just discovering this man.I am in stitches.New subscriber love it!!!!😂😂😂
The old Richard Pryor reference of the bush in the backyard still resonates. I’m 62 and remember that bush in our backyard. It’s funny now, but…….😢
We all remember that burning butt bush‼️ At 66 I 😢 remember ok?!
As soon as he mentioned Kamala Harris an ad for her popped up. I mean talk about comedic timing 😂. Great show as always 🎉
I was watching her Pennsylvania speech and announcement of the VP while this was on and missed the live!😅
Same! 😂
Too bad she identified as Indian. Oh well.
@@wolvmarine313 Wrong. She is Indian, but identifies as black. Has several clips of her proudly saying she is Indian. Are you seriously letting her new campaign southern accent deceive you?
@@oslonorway547
Absolutely not. I know she's a fraud, hence my comment for him to not include her in his show for next time.
I was at this show, and it was phenomenal!! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@normette I was at Friday's show. Fire.
Thanks!
So good to see your audience are completely invested in your career. You are such a talented comedian!
Another Joshday brings the joy to the masses!! I Can't wait!!
Picking a switch was definitely psychological torture! It had to be good enough but not TOO good 😂
Trevor has a similar bit on that
@@LindaC616 So did Richard Pryor. No one owns childhood experiences.
@abasdarhon okay, but don't expect people to laugh as uproariously as when they heard it the first time 10 years ago
@@LindaC616 it is funnier depending on who telling the story.
I am SO HAPPY I have found your comedy. What a gift you have, Josh...I hope to see you live someday soon. Your ability to blend everyday life observation with social commentary reminds me of the late, great Paul Mooney.
Simone is absolutely phenomenal, and an incredible sweetheart too! Her season on Dancing With the Stars was just precious!
The camera cut to the fencing hand was wild 😂
This man releases a special every fucking week. It’s incredible
Yesss!! I’m doing an all-nighter. This is my reward for completing my next Task! Back in 15 mins!
Congrats 👏👏 how's it going? 😁
Task done - in spite of tech making me have to redo part of it 🙄 . Took 3x as long but I earned it. Watched the set for my reward! 🎉
This was a good show. I’m so glad to see Josh commanding this big venue. Keep up the good grind everyone. The right hard work pays off!
Im 55 and love the way his brain works! Overanylizers and over thinkers get it. But hell say it out loud! The charm and mannerly young man he is just adds to it! And he relates to EVERYONE! Its all things weve thought n never said! He is a RARE talent!!! And he keeps it pg! Salute to who raised him!
Some George Carlin in him. Calling Netflix.
Dear Josh Johnson, It was great and surreal to see my favourite duo, you and Logan, live, in Atlanta this past Saturday!!!! Every so often during your show, I almost had to pinch myself to confirm that I wasn't dreaming! Thank you guys for coming!!!!
My man! Those stages are getting bigger and bigger 🎉
They are! Good on him!
I suffer from paranoia. And I basically sabotaged my own career,because I was afraid that very evil people rule the world and I would be used and abused by them if I pursued my career. Seeing such a decent human being like you josh,I know that’s not true. You inspired me to revitalize my music. Which actually gave me a little peace in this chaotic world. Thank you so much. I think you’re the next Dave Chappelle and I got tears rolling down my cheek as I say this. I love you bro 🙏🏽❤️💯
You were not wrong they do rule the world and they did that to me.
What happened if you do not mind sharing?
@@TinaSibiya you make music?
@@liliththerapper hey its okay, yes a few very rich billionaires have considerable influence, but they don't determine your path exactly. we can all change things for the better. find your community and keep making music even if you only have ten listeners its about what it does for your wellbeing
@@jed641 thank you so much 🙏🏽🔥💯❤️
The next time he tells the dinner in the dark story, he should start by saying “for this next part I need yal to close your eyes to get the whole experience”
You did the Switch Joke. Plus fencing.
Thank you.❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Josh, YOU MADE IT TO 600+K SUBSCRIBERS!!!! ❤❤❤
Should easily be a million .Push everyone to like and subscribe. With the numbers Google is more than recognition. Can be a really good piece of cash
Why there aren't over 1 million subscribers is a head scratch
Fuck, i didn't noticed! Yeaaaaah! 🙏🏻 🙌🏻 ❤️
His delivery is
A FXCKING 1
My my, I'm 70 seconds in & I had to pause & hop right to the comments cause no way could I have seen the light bill comin!!!!!!!! Spit water all over my phone screen!!! Josh!!!! You a comedic nut rapped up in genius & impeccable timing/delivery!!!
Okay, back to the video. . .😂😭🤣🤪😘
Hi Josh, I just subscribed to your channel yesterday and thanks for the acknowledgement! You are just HILARIOUS! 😆 I'm just CRACKING UP & CRYING at the same time!! 🤣 You are such a DELIGHT! I'm so very Proud of you!! I am definitely a FAN!!You are so handsome with so much swagger and like I said in my previous post, you really remind me of my son & I'm so proud of him too!! You're an amazing young Black Man!! Keep on doing what you're doing because it's working!!! 👍
Josh, how have you not gotten a netflix special ? Not only are your jokes funny, but the delivery is spot on........
My great grandmother used to braid switches together. My family is lit.
Holy shit 😳🤣
So was your legs/ass haha
I still reference that, but I only talk to my cats and I’m pretty sure they don’t give a fuck. 😂
"and it had been SOME TIME" I feel you dude. I've had dinners like this. I love you. Spreading like I can.
Especially when I'm struggling with what I like. I don't want to be rude but if the texture/saltiness/not used to it is hurting me, it feels like forever.
when he said, "cause she heard him....." that alone killed me....the delivery ya'll 🤣
What I loooove about the clips I have seen so far is they are genuinely funny. Based on simple observations and reflections, without the need of constantly using profanity.
Josh Johnson for president!!!
this guy is freaking brilliant i hope he sticks around for a very long time
His keen observational skills and intelligence coming together as his comedic skills and timing is like no other of his generation. Great to see you grow week over week!
Whoever edited this video needs all the props. I'm cracking up with just the smash cuts to your face 🤣
Just found your channel. You are hysterical!
Thank You. You had me laughing with tears, at the no lights dinner. You are by far, my favorite comedian. 😂🤣 And it’s a Black Women’s Summer, Fall, and the next 4 years. ❤️🤍💙
I felt so attacked as a French when he said "the first Black woman to get a gold medal in fencing"! I know many Americans do not care about fencing (that's ok) and font know anything about other countries (that's NOT okay), but Laura Flessel is a LEGEND in France, and I think she's pretty famous worldwide, as far as "fencing famous" carries you. She's the only fencer most people in France can name anyway.
Just a small comment to educate you.
BTW, her first two gold medals were won in the USA, in Atlanta in 1996!
Your beef is with education structure on a grand scale. Plus not everyone watches the Olympics to recall names. I can say it’s possible you’re not familiar with what goes on here in America regarding African Americans from what you just said here & that would still be due to information available or lacking. You gotta be here to know just like we got to be there to know is what it is.
He said black woman, but he meant black American woman.
That is amazing, ty for sharing😸
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Flessel-Colovic
SHES A POLITICIAN TOO?!
I didn't know that, and I lived in Atlanta during the Centennial Olympics, but didn't watch any of the fencing competitions. Thank you!
As someone who had the electricity turned off on then multiple times due to parental shittiness: this is Fing hilarious.
Thanks!
