Penultimate episode of the sitcom starring self-deprecating comic Josh Widdicombe as a fictive version of himself. Despite a shaky start, it has slowly moved away from sub-Peep Show flatshare gags, and tonight's outing is its funniest yet. Landlord Geoff (Jack Dee) has let out his flat for London fashion week, and packed Josh, Kate and Owen off to Clacton. Unfortunately for the friends, he's tagging along, too, with an awkward nephew and an unlikely proposition for Josh. The Chuckle Brothers and Romesh Ranganathan guest star.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 9th December 2015Review - Josh Widdicombe: What Do I Do Now
This was a fun well-crafted show. Good natured, and inoffensive, you can't help but be bowled over by Widdicombe's charm and mock annoyance with the world. Maybe one day he will find 'peace' with the world, but I really hope he doesn't!
Matt Forrest, On The Box, 9th December 2015Josh: 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."

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

Again, this episode proves that the best moments in Josh Widdicombe's sitcom are the visual gags and what is on screen, rather than what is being said.

British Comedy Guide, 26th November 2015Hard 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 Widdicombe and Tom Craine, BBC Blogs, 18th November 2015Josh, episode 2: Mum & Dad review
Continuing on from last week's debut, Josh Widdicombe's new sitcom seems to becoming something of a damp squib, despite some good guest appearances.
