Josh is the son of legendary PR guru Lynne Franks, the woman who inspired Jennifer Saunders' character Edina in Absolutely Fabulous. Raised as a Buddhist this ex-public schoolboy then trained as a Rabbi before being kicked off the programme for being caught with a naked (non-Jewish) girl. He started his own PR firm when he was just 16 and has had a number of senior roles in music video production companies. Now he's decided to settle down and get a proper job as a stand-up comedian, which started in earnest with his first trip to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003. Since then he has become one of the hottest stars on the comedy circuit with his incisive wit and social comment.
