All about Josh

Josh Menchions is a passionate comedian and advocate from Newfoundland and Labrador, known for his work both on and off the stage. He serves on the provincial Accessibility Advisory Board and is the chair of Power Productions, where he plays a key role in advancing inclusivity and supporting the arts. As the founder of Standup NFLD, Josh has cultivated a thriving comedy scene in Newfoundland and Labrador, with the hub being his website, standupnfld.ca, where fans and performers can stay updated on local shows and events.

Josh hosts the popular “Last Minute Comedy” show every Wednesday night at Peter Easton Pub, which has become a staple of the local entertainment scene. The show includes special events like Ladies’ Night, held every third Wednesday, and is known for its welcoming and fun atmosphere. A true performer, Josh isn’t afraid to take bold steps for his craft—he even promised to get a Last Minute Comedy tramp stamp if the show’s Instagram account reached 1,000 followers, a goal that will culminate in a live tattoo session on October 23rd 2024.

In addition to his comedy work, Josh is a fierce advocate for accessibility and representation, using his platform to inspire and entertain. His openness and commitment to breaking barriers make him a standout figure in both the comedy and advocacy worlds.
