Josh Blue has spent years proving that his spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy is less of a limitation and more of a precision comedic tool. His set zeroes in on a one-sided professional rivalry with Michael J. Fox, suggesting Fox’s tremors are either the side effects of time travel or a lingering symptom of being a Teen Wolf. Blue also gets highly specific about living in the smelly shadow of a Denver dog food factory, managing the fine line between being “a little delayed” and “very advanced,” and explaining how his brain operates on a completely different frequency than everyone else’s.\n\nFilmed at his home club, Comedy Works in Denver, Colorado, the performance captures a veteran performer completely in his element. Though the set was originally recorded in late 2018, it saw a wide audio release in 2022. This followed Blue’s third-place run on America’s Got Talent in 2021, which introduced his physical, self-deprecating perspective to a whole new generation of television viewers. The hour reflects his signature style of loose, stoner-tinged observations and quick crowd reactions, reinforcing why he remains a steady headliner decades after his initial TV breakthrough.
