Josh Thomas: jiggle, jiggle

After premiering the show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and touring across Australia’s biggest comedy festivals—including Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth—Josh is taking Jiggle, Jiggle on the road for international audiences. Josh began performing stand-up comedy 20 years ago and quickly became a mainstay of the Australian comedy scene. Over the years, he has built a devoted global following—while also losing three celebrity cooking shows, failing spectacularly at Celebrity Splash and Taskmaster, and (arguably) curing Bob Katter’s homophobia. Among many other achievements.
He is the creator and star of the critically acclaimed television series Please Like Me and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, both of which became international sensations praised for their honesty, heart, and exploration of meaningful issues. But this year? He’s done being important. With Jiggle, Jiggle, Josh promises an hour of “dumb, happy, in no way important stand-up.”
“This year I just want to have fun,” says Josh. “Jiggle, jiggle.” Expect sharp wit, absurd observations, joyful chaos, and the unmistakable comedic voice that has made Josh Thomas one of the most distinctive performers of his generation.
Don’t miss Josh Thomas LIVE in Ottawa on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at the Algonquin Commons Theatre.
