About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

A versatile comic who is perfect for any type of party or corporate event!! Josh Alton is a rarity in the world of stand-up comedy: He's an athlete-turned-comedian. After playing his final collegiate football game, Alton hung up his cleats and shoulder pads for a microphone and a note pad and began doing stand up comedy. He moved from Des Moines, Iowa to Chicago where he studied improv at the famous Second City Theater and continued doing stand up. Eventually Alton became a regular performer at several Chicago comedy clubs including the Laugh Factory, the Improv, and Riddles Comedy Club. Alton was also featured in the stand up comedy documentaries, "Road Dogs" and "American Smartass" and once did a commercial for the AMC Channel. Now he lives back in Des Moines and tours all over the country, headlining comedy clubs and private corporate shows. Alton married the love of his life, and has a daughter with her. His wife is a doctor so when he's not touring he stays at home with his little girl. For this reason Alton is considered the ultimate "trophy husband". You can read all about his adventures on the road and at home with his daughter on the Trophy Husband Blog which is located on Alton's website:

Josh was the perfect addition to our company Christmas party!! He communicated well in preparation for the event. He had fantastic material and made sure to find out what we wanted.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 4, 2017From Des Moines, IA

We hired Josh for a company Christmas party, with 175 people. He did a fantastic job, funny yet professional. He came early and ate dinner with us, got to know a few folks and even stayed after the show. He inquired about attire for the evening before the event and even mingled with people before the show. Wonderful job! We would hire Josh again for sure..
