The Last Leg's cross, mop-topped comic Josh Widdicombe expresses his fizzing irritation with a hefty number of things in his most recent standup show at the Hammersmith Apollo. Among the items receiving his frustrated ire are his overflowing shower tray, contactless debit cards, his childhood cabin bed and people who ask him to bring back things from his holidays. As he quite rightly points out, he's going on holiday, not doing a big shop.

British Comedy Guide, 10th October 2017TV review: Josh, Series 3, Episode 2, BBC3/BBC1
I wish somebody would explain the logic of how the BBC schedules programmes. Why, for example, is the whole of Upstart Crow available online from the moment the series starts on BBC2, whereas Josh, which is an online BBC3 series is being drip-fed to fans week-by-week as if, well, as if it was a real TV programme. Yes, I know it is a real TV programme, but you know what I mean. And just to muddy things further it also airs on BBC1 - it just feels like fuzzy logic to me. If anything is going to be released boxed set-stylee it should be an online show surely...
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 10th October 2017Review: Josh, BBC3
It's one of those quirks of scheduling that the new series of flatshare comedy Josh has dropped on the same day that the new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm started on Sky Atlantic. There's definitely a touch of the Curbs in the way that Josh is plotted and also in the way that whatever can go wrong in the main characters' lives will go wrong.

British Comedy Guide, 13th September 2017The relentlessly hopeful comedy of The Last Leg
There is one show that consistently acknowledges the shock and anger but also challenges me to replace the despair with something else: hope. That show is Channel 4's The Last Leg, starring Adam Hills, Alex Brooker, and Josh Widdicombe.
Christine Brandel, Pop Matters, 16th August 2017The last in the current series of Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe's late-night talkshow comes complete with a special celebrity guest: US-vice-president-turned-environmental activist Al Gore. As well as helping the boys dissect the week's news - who knows, he may even have something to say on current matters in the White House - he'll be plugging his movie An Inconvenient Sequel, the follow-up to his 2006 doc An Inconvenient Truth.
