Josh O’Neill is a freelance copywriter and comedian based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Always enthusiastic to explore new channels, Josh has written social copy, advertising copy, commercial scripts, wedding speeches, retirement letters, award show monologues, and articles for trade magazines. While he loves using his free time to write jokes, short stories, and his glowing resume, he’s currently on the hunt for his next big project.

In the world of standup, Josh has spent over a decade cultivating his act in comedy venues across the Midwest. In the past decade, he has won the Funniest Person in Cincinnati contest, produced numerous showcases, and worked with nationally touring comedians like Mike Birbiglia, Brian Posehn, and Whitest Kids U’Know. When asked if he’s any good, Josh breaks eye contact and changes the subject.

In June of 2020, Josh released Childish, a homemade comedy special/fundraising effort. Operating on a “pay what you’d like” platform, he raised over $1,500 for out of work service workers, as well as The Black Emotional & Mental Health Collective.
