Josh Weller

As seen in the new season of ITV2’s Stand Up Sketch Show, Josh Weller is a comedian, comic book author, musician, and podcast host.

He was born in England, raised in Malaysia and now lives in London. Weller’s high energy brand of cleverly self-deprecating stand-up landed him on pro bills after just one year on the UK and London comedy club circuit.

In addition to his live comedy work, Josh has developed a loyal fanbase for his online content, which includes sketches, live pub quizzes, professional trolling, animated stand-up comedy shorts, character work, and more.

In 2020, he was included in Twitter’s Valentine’s Campaign, featured on billboards across the US and UK. Josh is also a successful broadcaster and presenter, having hosted and produced the popular Excitable Boy podcast (#6 on the iTunes Comedy chart, #13 on the worldwide iTunes chart), as well as the official Hard Rock Café podcast and the Vans Warped Tour podcast.

He’s currently the host of the Hard Rock Cafe’s social video content, including Learn Guitar with Josh Weller. Josh is already well-known for his successful music career.

Having signed with Universal Records as a teenager, he went on to tour the world as both a solo artist and the lead singer of popular punk act The Kenneths. He has performed on the Vans Warped Tour alongside The Offspring, The Descendents and Juliette Lewis, has drummed for Ray Davies at the Royal Variety Performance, released a Christmas single with Paloma Faith and has toured with Mumford & Sons, The Maccabees, and more.

He has recently channeled that energy into viral music-comedy videos and releasing comedic songs under the name Jizzy Pop.

Josh appeared in an episode of BBC’s Life Lessons with Alfie Brown and his darkly comic graphic novel, Die Already, was published by CollegeHumor.
He’s recently written for BBC Radio 4’s The Now and Alex Edelman’s Peer Group.
