Josh Harris’s comedic range is as wide as his resume is impressive. That’s why the Atlanta native, who has been a fixture on the local scene for a few years, is rapidly becoming “one to watch” on the national scene. Combining frat-boy silliness with a trap-star mentality, Harris delivers his cleverly written punchlines with a raw energy that takes over the room. One of the few local comics that truly rips both sides of Atlanta’s comedy scene, he is definitely worth checking out.

A lil’ joke: “I can’t smoke weed anymore, I was bad at it. You know you’re too high when you think the highway you’re on is the speed limit. When I was on 75 I’d go 75, when I was on 85 I’d go 85, and when I was on 400 I’d go to Jail.”
