About Josh Berry
Josh Berry is a highly regarded British comedian, writer, and celebrity impressionist who first rose to fame for his remarkably accurate portrayals of the world's leading tennis stars. Since making his debut on the BBC’s Live @ Wimbledon at just sixteen years old, he has collaborated extensively with the LTA and Wimbledon, producing popular comedic sketches alongside athletes such as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Nick Kyrgios. His work has been featured on BBC Five Live and ESPN, and he gained significant mainstream recognition after Andy Murray personally championed his content.
Beyond the sporting world, Josh has become a prominent political satirist through his creation of Rafe Hubris, a quintessential Downing Street Special Adviser. This character, described as pitch-perfect by the Evening Standard, served as the basis for his book Staggering Hubris, a spoof diary examining the government’s pandemic response. The work became noted for its eerie accuracy regarding the culture of Westminster. An Oxford University graduate in philosophy and theology, Josh has also performed multiple successful shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and contributed to BBC Radio 4 programmes such as Dead Ringers and Newsjack.
Now a leading voice in British character comedy, Josh is frequently booked for his ability to blend sharp political commentary with high-energy impressions. His performances offer a sophisticated and contemporary take on modern culture, making him a standout choice for audiences seeking intelligent, relevant, and side-splitting entertainment.
