This is a show where Josh tidies up. Tidying up is not normally the stuff of gripping drama, it wouldn't be a propulsive narrative for most people but for Josh it's Everest, a fundamentally impossible task, like trying to defy the moon and control the tides. Josh's brain has managed to make him the creator and star of hit TV shows (Please Like Me, Everything's Gonna Be Okay), in this show he tries to work out how to do the small stuff. Written with award-winning playwright, Lally Katz.

Josh Thomas on his happy place: 'The stage feels safer to me than a barbecue'

It seems faintly astonishing that Australian stand-up Josh Thomas is only making his full Fringe debut this year, given he was a finalist in So You Think You're Funny? almost two decades ago. But TV success, an autism diagnosis and a move to the US got in the way. He talks to Jay Richardson about irritating Americans, a shooting incident and his in-demand sperm.

Josh Thomas on quitting stand-up - and what brought him back

The Australian comic started stand-up at 17, but a fear of 'schlepping around' for 60 years led him to retire. Now, eight years later, he has rediscovered his mojo - and is back with a set musing on his recent autism diagnosis.
