Biography

Josh Meyers is a multifaceted artist, encompassing the realms of acting, writing, and stand-up comedy. Born and raised in Bedford, New Hampshire, he later attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he honed his skills before embarking on a journey to Amsterdam to join the renowned "Boom Chicago Theatre".

During his tenure at "Boom Chicago", Josh collaborated with esteemed alumni, including Jason Sudeikis, Jordan Peele, and his brother Seth Meyers, crafting and performing original material. This experience laid the groundwork for his subsequent success in the entertainment industry.

Josh's impressive resume includes a stint on the popular sketch comedy show Mad TV, where he became renowned for his uncanny celebrity impressions, such as Owen Wilson and Matthew McConaughey. One of his most notable contributions, the sketch "A Football Thing", co-written and performed with Ike Barinholtz, garnered over 5 million views on YouTube, solidifying its place as one of MADtv's most viral hits.

Meyers' transition to the world of television led him to star in the final season of That '70s Show, replacing Topher Grace. He has also made his Broadway debut in "The Pee-Wee Herman Show on Broadway", where he joined friend Paul Reubens in recreating iconic roles, including the voice of "Conky".

As a regular contributor to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Josh has starred in the parody series "Jersey Floor" and frequently appears as a guest, competing with his brother Seth in the "SiblingWed Game". His recent television credits include The Mindy Project, where he played a singing male prostitute, and a recurring role on The Awesomes, an animated superhero series, as the insufferable "Perfect Man".

Josh's filmography boasts notable roles in Sacha Baron Cohen's Brüno and the Emmy-winning Behind the Candelabra, where he played Liberace's attorney. He is currently developing the sitcom "Untitled Meyers Brothers Project" for Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video, alongside fellow "Boom Chicago" alum Peter Grosz.

As an accomplished improv comedian, Josh regularly performs at the Hollywood Improv and engages in stand-up comedy throughout Los Angeles and Pasadena's famous Ice House.
