About the show

In Everything is Embarrassing, Josh shares a series of hilariously humiliating true stories — from being mistaken for America's most despised fast-food spokesperson to posting the most cringeworthy thing imaginable on social media — building towards a jaw-dropping final story so epically embarrassing you won't want to believe it really happened. The show runs for 55 minutes, is free to attend, and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A free show built around the kind of mortifying true stories that make you cringe and laugh in equal measure. Josh Edelman has a gift for finding the comedy in life's most humiliating moments — this is a warm, confessional hour that leaves on a high.
