This episode Josh Higham and Sam discuss sketch comedy competition shows and the burden of having multiples of the same costume piece. This week’s props- an ant costume and 5 matching striped shirts.
After years of being a fan, Josh Higham got started in sketch comedy, taking classes with members of Secret Pants and Kevin Allison of The State. After a year with Judo Range and a couple years in the comedy wilderness, Josh snuck his way into becoming one of the producers of Philly Sketchfest. He created and hosts My First Sketch, a podcast where comedians share their earliest attempts at sketch comedy and talk about making people laugh, with its next season coming soon. As part of Philly Sketchfest, Josh produces and hosts the monthly show, Cutthroat Sketch, and the quarterly show, Cavalcade.
