Delete

What makes this worth someone’s evening? Josh Blue is highly skilled at taking the pity out of physical disability. Ten years after his Last Comic Standing win, his 2016 hour Delete addresses how the disabled community actually feels about being called “inspirational”. Blue, who has spastic cerebral palsy, plays with audience expectations by treating his physical condition as a starting point for punchlines rather than a plea for sympathy—letting his self-deprecating wit do the heavy lifting.\n\nShot in his hometown of Denver, Colorado, Delete was independently financed through a crowdfunding campaign before being picked up for distribution by Comedy Dynamics. At this point in his career, Blue had established himself as a road-tested headliner capable of turning everyday frustrations into solid observational comedy. The hour features memorable bits about getting through airport security, the eternal struggle between ketchup and mustard, and a bizarre riff on the bone disease rickets. He also touches on his personal life as a single father, proving he can find humor in both parenting and his own dating mishaps.
