Josh Berry’s career started by doing impressions of tennis players, appearing on the BBC’s Live @ Wimbledon when he was just 16. He later came to the attention of Former World Number 1 Andy Murray, who greatly increased Josh’s visibility by retweeting one of his videos. In 2018, they appeared on screen together when Murray played a sprts reporter interviewing Josh in his Murray guise.
He took his show Voice Thief to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018; returning in 2019 with Josh Berry: Who Does He Think He Is?
When Boris Johnson became Prime Minister in 2019, Josh developed the character of Rafe Hubris, an arrogant, Eton-educated Special Advisor at 10 Downing Street, who calls Johnson ‘BloJo’, his chief of staff Dominic Cummings ‘Big Daddy Cum-Cum’, and health secretary Matt Hancock ‘Matt Cock-in-his-Hands’.
He followed this up in 2020 with his spoof diary, Staggering Hubris; written in Rafe Hubris’ voice, he tells the “real” story of the chaos behind the scenes as the British government attempted to deal with the Covid pandemic.
Staggering Hubris: The Memoir of Boris Johnson’s Most Classic SPAD: The ‘Rona Years (2021) contains accounts of parties and rule-breaking at Downing Street and looks on as the government was engulfed in various lockdown controversies.
