In 1992, he made his Off-Broadway debut with Red Diaper Baby and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award in the Solo Performance category. In 2001, a feature-film version of Haiku Tunnel-which Josh co-directed with his brother Jacob-was released nationally by Sony Pictures Classics. As a writer, in 2002, Josh collaborated with the San Francisco Mime Troupe on Mr. Smith Goes to Obscuristan. In 2003, he opened the one-man show Love & Taxes.
