Description: Josh Davies is a stand-up comedian originally from Levin. Having made the move to Auckland, his career is beginning to flourish - though not without challenges. In addition to the many ups and downs that come with trying to make a living as an entertainer, Josh has a rare genetic disorder, X Linked Retinoschisis, that has caused him to lose all sight in his left eye, with only 20% vision remaining in his right eye. His experience of growing up in a small town with a disability gives Josh a unique edge and perspective as a performer - weaving together personal stories of childhood bullies, driving tractors, and finding his way around the supermarket.
