Josh Blue
St. Paul native Josh Blue may now make his home in Colorado, but he's returning to the Twin Cities to tape his soon-to-be-released comedy special.
"I love the crowds there because they're smart and tough," said Blue who made a name for himself by winning "Last Comic Standing" and becoming a role model for people who, like him, have cerebral palsy. "When I was growing up, my parents were too cheap to buy a snowblower, so my crippled butt was out clearing the whole driveway every winter. It was hell."
Blue said the special doesn't have a distributor yet, but don't be surprised if it ends up on Comedy Central which spotlighted him in 2009. Blue performs at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Varsity Theater. The $20 tickets can be purchased at the Loring Pasta Bar or at ticketfly.com.
