The brilliantly offbeat Josh Glanc arrives (back) in Edinburgh fresh from a smash hit, sold out Edinburgh Fringe run.

As seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival All Star Gala and creator and star of the recent Channel 4 Comedy Short also called Family Man. He's been labelled one of Australia's ‘most exciting emerging talents’ by the Sydney Morning Herald.
