I actually didn't feel guilty for laughing at a disabled person for once. But really he was hilarious and it's so awesome to see someone not be put down by something as serious a cerebral palsey, and the fact that he's making fun of it is just like, wow!
Nah his jokes weren't that funny.. "y'all go to hell for laughing at me!"
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzaOHWK0Qvg[/media] This is a video of him doing less comdy and more talking about himself and his life, he's such a cool guy. An athlete, a speaker and a father. People can take a lot from him, he's an amazing inspiration.
I respect him for standing up for what he loves and doing this, and having the balls even with his disability to do comedy in front of this many people. My only problem is I can see him getting shit tons of sympathy votes/laughs, I mean the crowd was clapping and laughing hysterically and most of his jokes weren't spectacularly funny. Hopefully I wont be raped now for insulting Josh Blue purely from a comedic stand-point.
Cerebral ballsy.

For example my friend likes Bill Bailey because he says strange things while I enjoy his stand-up for the deeper philosophical and psychedelic bent. His opinion isn't wrong per-se, just imperceivable from a comical perspecive.

That whole bit with "gabriel don't call me anymore" at like 2:50 on the 2nd video, they all start standing up and applauding is the kind of overreaction I'm talking about.
I thought he was pretty funny

I thought he was pretty funny, but not the best
My right wrist hurts from looking at his. This reminds me of the guy in Oprah's contest who was in a wheelchair and had the same, positive attitude about himself.

"Hey guys can I get a spotter?"
Had my doubts at first but he's actually a pretty funny guy.
I've seen him on CC, funny guy.
