Little #throwbackThursday to EXACTLY 2 years ago.

We were just about to debut @thegirlsmusical in London’s West End... but beforehand, I managed to catch @GaryBarlow & Tim Firth for this little bit of pre-show magic...

Exciting news on a fair few upcoming projects coming SOON!

Top stuff from top charity @SNAPPYYork - this game was quality!! 🤩🐊❤️

[Karen @ThatFoilLady]

Stacking crocs record for the day goes to Josh with a massive 9 in a vertical pile🐊👏
The look of concentration as they went up, and despair as they fell down again 😂
Can anyone beat him with 10?
A great day for @SNAPPYYork at #HaxbyCarnival

A film I was part of is on telly at 9pm tonight…. and I’m taking us ALL out for dinner on the royalties*! 🤩

*well, I can take up to one other person… for a Spoons.

Anyway, it’s a cute watch if you haven’t seen it and like Morecambe and Wise. I was Little Ern, a privilege ❤️

[York Maze @Yorkmaze]

Our menagerie of maze mascots joined @Josh_Benson12 for his "10th Birthday Party", celebrating a decade working in family entertainment 🎉🌽

🥳 DID IT 🎉

I’m officially 1️⃣0️⃣ Years Old 🎈

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

Need to do a big post about how mad yesterday (+ the whole months build up to it) was, thanking people etc, but I reckon I’ll sit on it while I collect myself.

For now, I entitle this pic: MONDAY

What an quality way to celebrate 10 years doing what I do. Cheers all who came x

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

I’ve just finished an 18 HR DAY in prep for tomorrow’s shenanigans (it’s 5am as I schedule this) and rather poetically - there just happens to be 18 TIX LEFT!!! https://t.co/W5y0ryz9Jl

It’s accidentally become an absolutely MASSIVE show 😬🤣 hope those that are joining enjoy xx

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

Tell me you’re hosting a kids party for 200+ people without telling me you’re hosting a kids party for 200+ people…!? 🥳

(12 bags… if you’re wondering!?)

I’ve LOVED prepping for my “10th Bday” show, but it has felt a bit self indulgent at times, trawling through archive stuff from the past decade…

…whats always brought be back down to Earth though, is realising I’m peddling ALL the exact same crap as when I was 16 years old!?

17yr old Josh in this pic, just popping on to say:

“If I can shift these 9 seats TODAY - I’ll have broken the 100+ ticket mark in exactly one week, and also have the first 4 rows of my show COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!!” 🤩🎉

Snap ‘em up, kids: https://t.co/W5y0ryz9Jl

YORK!

I’ve made a STUPIDLY last minute decision to book @jrtheatre to host my own 10th Birthday (after a decade of doing every bugger else's!?) 🤣

It's gonna be a right laugh, & as with everything I do... NOT a thing 'just for kids' - so, see ya there!?

That carriage would make a bloody good panto prop. I wonder what he’s doing with it after today???

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

11 years ago - getting reversed into (by @RickyChamp1) and puking up as a result…

REALLY hoping my voice breaks at some point soon!? 🙄🤣

#Casualty 🏥

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

Happy Easter Monday… I’m spending the day re-thinking our ‘CORNula One’ show at @Yorkmaze 🌽

We trailed this absolute bonkers idea last year, and it was a lot of fun… but there’s always room for improvement!! 🏎️🤔

This is completely misleading and dangerous. Singing is not why police were called. Police were called because Front of House and security staff were verbally and physically assaulted on multiple occasions throughout the show by audience members. 🧵1/4

[Amy D🌤🌿 @AmyDewsnip97]

Speaking as a Front of House supervisor at The Manchester Palace, here’s what I ask you don’t lose sight of:

The police were not called because of a few patrons singing along, they were called because of the UNPRECEDENTED levels of VIOLENCE asking them to stop caused.

[Josh Benson @Josh_Benson12]

Just logged on for the first time since Feb 2021. Haven't missed everyone yelling at each other AT ALL.

I tend to now only really use Facebook (JoshBensonEntertainer) or Insta (josh_benson12)

TikTok is for losers (pass it on)

Seeya in 2 years, maybe x

[Phil Seymour @announcerphil]

When your 4 year old daughter says it was the “best party ever”, you have to give a shout out to the entertainer, @josh_benson12 was brilliant! Highly recommend him to anyone in #York having a kids party 👍🏻 https://t.co/VxcPEmxpH8
