Career
Overview Kornbluth"s live and filmed works are almost entirely solo monologues based closely on events and people his life, his upbringing, and his career. As such he is among a small group of artists that includes Eric Bogosian, Lily Tomlin, and Spalding Gray. Most of Kornbluth"s monologues relate to personal and societal ethics, self-fulfillment, and the role of the individual in society, drawing a connection between his own personal foibles and larger issues of citizenship.
Playing a hapless, sincere, and sometimes buffoonish everyman caught up in world events, he demonstrates the relevance of these concepts to daily life.
His live performances occasionally include a question-and-answer session with academic lawyers or other experts and scholars. Works Mr. The Josh Kornbluth Show Kornbluth hosted a television talk show, The Josh Kornbluth Show, for two seasons (2005–2007) on KQED 9, San Francisco.
Guests included Alan Alda, Rita Moreno, and Amy Sedaris. The show often included a "man on the street" segment, "Wandering Josh".
