Josh Widdicombe

Strictly Come Dancing, The Last Leg

One of the UK's best known comedians, The Last Leg co-host, panel show regular and Strictly co-presenter, Josh's career stretches from sell-out standup tours to hit podcasts and radio, Taskmaster and 8 Out of 10 Cats to providing voices for animated shows.

The fresh-faced young comic comes out with unexpectedly dry humour. It's observational comedy at its best, which will have the audience reminiscing and laughing as if they're all in on a private joke.
