‘Laugh Out Loud’ with comedian, Josh Daniels as he delivers his own hilarious style of comedy and improv with charming mischief.

In 2011, Josh found himself supporting TV comedians including, Jo Brand and Barry Cryer as well as performing his own theatre shows and writing for TV and radio.

Since the millennium, Josh’s calendar has consisted mainly of corporate events, sporting dinners, holiday centres and cruise ships which has expanded his material to accommodate a wide range of audiences. Josh enjoys helping charities and performs regularly for ‘The Variety Club’, ‘Sparks’, and is now an honourable member of the ‘Lord’s Taverners’, where he uses his ‘stand-up’ skills to help disadvantaged children.  As a keen golfer, company directors and charity event managers regularly invite Josh to play alongside their clients and partners taking advantage of his natural networking skills.

Now, armed with his little guitar that takes his funny stories to a different level, Josh has become a popular comic in demand around the UK and internationally.

Just wanted to say very many thanks to you and the team for another excellent evening last Thursday. Steve Cram was an excellent choice to host the event. The whole evening had that feeling of quality – very difficult to define but very evident.

Very many thanks for an excellent evening last Thursday. Feedback from my table guests has been very positive – another success for Echo. Looking forward to next year already!

Another excellent evening which I thoroughly enjoyed. Many thanks to all the Echo team for making the evening such a success.
