Press
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 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."
