Josiah is a force of nature. An incredibly talented performer with a wide range of characters and diverse set of skills. He embodies what seems like dozens of characters throughout his 90 minute show, committing fully to each one.

Don't miss this, it's one of a kind. ... full review

"Flayed" was truly an accurate representation of its presenter; it was smart, genuine, compelling, and hot. I would see it again in a heartbeat. Josiah shines a brilliant spotlight on the nature of being a young queer in rural Appalachia compounded by the hurdles of a religious upbringing. The humor and delivery were brazen and rightfully so. Josiah is a joy to behold on stage, from his clever character work to his salacious storytelling, "Flayed" is Josiah in his element.... full review

KATHERINE BOURNE TAYLOR certified reviewer June 20, 2023
A show that uses comedy to travel time and space, centering in on a young man’s religious trauma. Incredible character work and bits I truly never thought I’d ever see. As someone who grew up hearing similar things in church this obviously came from a place of deep knowing and hard won experience. ... full review
