Physicist, Soldier, Comedian, Future Martian, Cave Explorer…
One thing Josh Richards can never be called is boring
After 10 years of blowing things up with the Australian Army, slogging through mud with British Commandos, and being science adviser to the richest artist in history; Josh somehow ended up in stand-up comedy – performing as a psychopathic ukulele-playing koala to confused audiences around the world.
In 2012, Josh decided to leave both comedy AND Earth behind by applying for a one-way mission to Mars. After another decade of preparing to leave the planet, Josh wound up in the awkward position of being shortlisted to the final 100 candidates from 200,000 applicants… when the program shut down.
So until Elon sells him a seat on a rocket to the big red dustbowl in the sky, you’ll find Josh breaking & securing networks as a cybersecurity specialist, writing books about aliens & black holes, delivering corporate keynotes on the future of work, or crawling down muddy holes to find the next big thing in cave diving.

His ability to engage with a completely online audience was amazing! Josh was able to tailor his presentation to catch and keep the interest of a very diverse group of people ranging from very spatial science tech savvy people through to our general land knowledge staff who are our front counter people. His presentation was informative, knowledgeable, along with super funny!
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed and complimented Josh's professionalism and sense of humor. I would 100% recommend Josh as a keynote speaker for any organisation looking for a unique, fun, knowledgeable and out-of-the-ordinary speaker who will no doubt leave a lasting, positive impression on anyone who meets him!
