The Josh and Tamara Show is Josh Cohen and Tamra Malaga. Husband and wife, they have toured the country together with their inventive show. For the DSI appearance Josh will be performing with DSI Executive Producer Zach Ward. Cohen handles the puppets for the duo and is a Jim Henson Studio Trained Muppeteer. Tamra isn’t touring with Cohen right now following the birth of their first child.
The Josh and Tamra Show begins with a one-word suggestion. Then they create an evening of improv that features multiple characters and multiple puppets. The pair met at New York City’s prestigious Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre. The Josh and Tamra Show perform their unique brand of comedy coast to coast. Over the past seven years, they have been featured at a variety of different venues and festivals, including The Bass Red Triangle Comedy Tour, Improv Boston, The Toronto Improv Festival, The Del Close Marathon (NYC), The Los Angeles Festival of Improv Comedy, The Chicago Improv Fringe Festival, The Seattle Festival of Improvised Theater and the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival.
