Ep. 42 Quince Questions? Josh Machiz
Josh Machiz is a Philadelphia-based musician, comedian, and composer who has been confusing and delighting audiences across North America for the last 2 decades. He is a 2-Time Barrymore Award Winner and was co-recipient of an American Composers Forum Grant. He has worked with several Grammy winners and nominees, Pew Winners, a MacArthur winner, and an Obie winner. Notable collaborators include: Mickey Roker, Uri Caine, Chip Chantry, Chris Botti, Bobby Eli, Bearded Ladies Cabaret, Wilma Theater, BalletX, and Pig Iron Theater Company.
The New York Times described his music as “What the mail sounds like.” CBS called TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb “entertainingly unhinged.” The Charm City Comedy Festival describes him as “Surrealist Stand Up Comedy.” He has been entrusted to hold babies by no less than 4 mothers and has never dropped any of them.
He is currently a member TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb, Josh Machiz Brasses, Arcana New Music Ensemble, Dirty Dollhouse, Hurricane Hoss, and David Fantasy & Adult Content. He is one of Philadelphia’s most in-demand bass players and sousaphonists, but plays a number of other instruments competently as well. In comedy Josh has been a Quarterfinalist in 2017 & 2019 Philly’s Phunniest and a featured comedian in the 2018 Turnpike Comedy Festival on Amazon Prime. He is a regular contributor to Eavesdropping on America, a satirical podcast that The Onion mistook for earnest anthropological studies and lauded as, “consistently thought-provoking and prove[d] difficult to shake.”
Josh has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Guggenheim Museum, Kennedy Center, Kimmel Center, SXSW, Charm City Comedy Fest, Joyce Theater, Vail International Dance Festival, Philly Folk Fest, 92nd St Y, La Mama, Mann Center, MusikFest, Good Good Comedy Theater, TLA, and CMJ. He co-produces Sofar Sounds Philly Comedy Shows, Grin & Beer It Comedy Show at Earth Bread + Brewery, and Young Xer’s Night Comedy Shows at the Wilma Theater and he babysits on Tuesday mornings.
