Josh: episode 5 - Homme & Away review

This episode of Josh Widdicombe's sitcom certain had the best opening scene of them all so far, with Jack Dee as Josh's landlord Geoff criticising Josh's stand-up because: "There's nothing funny about a grumpy man."

Josh Widdicombe: in praise of landlords

To some they're the bane of modern renting, but for me landlords are just great. For serving up comic material, at least.

Josh: episode 4 - Teabag & No Sympathy review

British Comedy Guide, 26th November 2015

Hard to believe that a sitcom like this would get made in a post-Peep Show world. Here it is, though: a show about uni mates turned flatsharers, a vehicle for Josh Widdicombe, very much one of the leading lights in gentle observational comedy. Tonight, Josh and Owen have, thanks to landlord Geoff (Jack Dee), tickets to the darts, but no money with which to get sufficiently drunk to attend. The solution? Attend a wedding! Contains good jokes about Macy Gray and Morcheeba, which feel far too old for the characters speaking them.

Josh review: Beattie Edmondson's comic timing stuck out

There's nothing original or remarkable about the set-up - or much of the script - in Josh Widdicombe's eponymous sitcom but there's promising chemistry between its stars.
