Josh Thomas

Josh Thomas is an Australian comedian, actor and writer who broke out on the scene as a teenager, winning best newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2007 for his first solo show, "Please Like Me." Thomas went on to stage his stand-up at the Edinburgh Fringe and Montreal's Just For Laughs before developing his first TV series, also called "Please Like Me," which documented his coming-out process and aired originally on Australian TV before getting picked up for multiple seasons in America via the Pivot cable channel. His follow-up to that, "Everything's Gonna Be OK," premiered in January 2020 on Freeform. The first season in full is available for streaming on Hulu. Thomas sat down with me via Zoom to talk about all of that, why working with bugs and teenage girls makes perfect sense, and more, so let's get to it!
