Josh Sneed
Friday, February 1

Josh Sneed is quickly making his mark as one of the top young comics in the business!  After quitting a comfy day job working for Procter & Gamble, he’s made excellent strides in following his passion for making people laugh.  He’s opened for such acts as Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, and Lewis Black.

In 2008, Josh finished 2nd out of 100 of Comedy Central’s top comedians in the Annual Stand-up Showdown, earning him a deal to record a new album on Comedy Central Records.  iTunes selected it as one of the Top 10 comedy albums released last year.  In 2006, Josh filmed a 30-minute special, “Comedy Central Presents:  Josh Sneed” that debuted in March 2007 and is currently re-airing.  In November of 2006, Josh placed 6th in the Sierra Mist/MySpace Stand-up or Sit Down Challenge out of over 2,000 entrants. 

Josh has performed at the Just For Laugh's Montreal Comedy Festival in the "New Faces of Comedy" group, one of the highest honors that a comedian at his level can achieve. Josh was also chosen by Comedy Central to perform in the inaugural South Beach Comedy Festival, and garnered praise from Punchline Magazine for his performance at the Aspen Comedy Festival.  Josh has also made several appearances on the nationally syndicated "The Bob & Tom Show", and currently has his own segment on XM Sirius Satellite’s comedy channel.
