Josh Glanc: Hubba hubba (based on a true story)
Hi it's me, Aussie oddball Josh Glanc. I'm fresh off the plane from Australia and sold out runs at the Soho Theatre and now I'm doing a brand-new show. Well, it won't be new when you come - I would have done it a bunch of times already - but as I write this copy the show doesn't really exist. Just wanted to be really honest with you because I think you deserve that.
Glanc, aka Spanish Fuk-boi, the co-host of the cult Edinburgh hit Stamptown Comedy night, has been labelled one of Australia’s “most exciting” comedians (★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald). His shows fuse together character, stand-up and song in a unique an ‘antic brand of tomfoolery’ (★★★★ Guardian).
Listed by the British Comedy Guide as a 2023 recommended show, Glanc's shtick is “inventive daft bits that will leave you beaming” (Chortle). An ‘extraordinary talent’ (★★★★ Scotsman).
