    His sets are only nominally about one topic. He intersperses a lot of unrelated or distantly related stories and jokes in as well.

      Yeah, I just mean it’s an atypical style of comedy for standup. Instead of finding the thread to connect stories, it’s finding the stories for the thread.

      Again I am not saying it’s worse, he’s my favorite US comic in a decade.

        Oh, I’m with you. But I think most people are not familiar with Josh Johnson and I want them to have a fuller idea of what his sets are like. He is a treasure and I hope he succeeds the way I expect him to. Or the way he wants to.
