Brilliant comedian. He doesn't crack jokes or anything. His humor is very cerebral. He offers the same kind of wry, observational slices of life that Bill Cosby used to do, back before he became very unfunny, and everyone discovered what a creep he is.

Josh Johnson, as least as far as I can tell, is definitely one of the good guys of standup.
