It’s undeniable: Local stand-up comic Josh Black has blown up. He’s been at it for a while, but particularly over the course of the pandemic, his short videos — wherein he riffs on topics ranging from Music City transplants to East Nashville living and even the Christmas Day bombing — have earned him a massive response on social media. His monthly shows at Zanies frequently sell out, and he’s teamed up for events and collaborations with the likes of the Belcourt, the Frist Art Museum and beyond. (Full disclosure: We at the Scene loved Black’s videos so much we asked him to collaborate with us on a series, and if we may say so ourselves, the results have been outstanding.) Black is shooting straight to the top, and we can’t wait to see where he goes next.
