In the first episode there were hints of everything from Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? and Men Behaving Badly to Seinfeld.

From Woody Allen's books to 90s fashion, the standup and Last Leg co-host reveals what makes him laugh the most.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 16th September 2016Josh: episode 6 - Suited & Booted review
It has to be said that personally the final episode of Josh Widdicombe's sitcom was not the greatest of the bunch, not so much for a lack of comedic material, but more for what is worn on screen.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 16th December 2015BBC Three orders another series of Josh
BBC Three has ordered a second series of Josh, the sitcom about three flatmates centred around stand-up star Josh Widdicombe.
British Comedy Guide, 16th December 2015Josh Widdicombe is the latest TV personality to develop a sitcom that mines a less well-adjusted version of themselves for comic effect. Josh features Widdicombe as a cheerfully inept stand-up, living with uni pals and undergoing all the trials of twentysomething urban life. It's anything but groundbreaking but is amiable enough and features decent turns from Jack Dee and Beattie Edmondson as his landlord and flatmate respectively.
The Guardian, 14th December 2015Penultimate episode of the sitcom starring self-deprecating comic Josh Widdicombe as a fictive version of himself. Despite a shaky start, it has slowly moved away from sub-Peep Show flatshare gags, and tonight's outing is its funniest yet. Landlord Geoff (Jack Dee) has let out his flat for London fashion week, and packed Josh, Kate and Owen off to Clacton. Unfortunately for the friends, he's tagging along, too, with an awkward nephew and an unlikely proposition for Josh. The Chuckle Brothers and Romesh Ranganathan guest star.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 9th December 2015Josh: episode 5 - Homme & Away review
This episode of Josh Widdicombe's sitcom certain had the best opening scene of them all so far, with Jack Dee as Josh's landlord Geoff criticising Josh's stand-up because: "There's nothing funny about a grumpy man."
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 9th December 2015Josh Widdicombe: in praise of landlords
To some they're the bane of modern renting, but for me landlords are just great. For serving up comic material, at least.
Josh Widdicombe, The Guardian, 2nd December 2015Josh: episode 4 - Teabag & No Sympathy review
Again, this episode proves that the best moments in Josh Widdicombe's sitcom are the visual gags and what is on screen, rather than what is being said.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 2nd December 2015Hard to believe that a sitcom like this would get made in a post-Peep Show world. Here it is, though: a show about uni mates turned flatsharers, a vehicle for Josh Widdicombe, very much one of the leading lights in gentle observational comedy. Tonight, Josh and Owen have, thanks to landlord Geoff (Jack Dee), tickets to the darts, but no money with which to get sufficiently drunk to attend. The solution? Attend a wedding! Contains good jokes about Macy Gray and Morcheeba, which feel far too old for the characters speaking them.
