Joshua Walters of Madhouse Rhythm (((JawVox))) and soon to be UnPlug is a performer who explores language creativity beatboxing and madness. His solo shows are a mash-up of comedy intimate reflection and unpredictable antics. He is a regular contributor to Snap Judgment a weekly storytelling radio show on NPR with TV broadcasts on PBS. Recently Walters was one of three speakers selected from a pool of 600 applicants to perform a TED Talk titled On Being Crazy Enough exploring the Bipolar Spectrum. Walters' first full length solo play Madhouse Rhythm debuted to critical acclaim in 2008. Madhouse Rhythm is an autobiographical collage of traditional theater spoken word and beatbox (the art of vocal percussion). This show has had a great impact in the theater and mental health community and is now included as part of the Performance and Disability Studies curriculum at UC Berkeley. On February 22 2011 Walters celebrated 10 Years of Madness a performance that spurred his theater run at The Marsh in Berkeley. Each show features a completely unique blend of artistic innovation and audience interaction captivating ages nine to 90. Walters' second solo performance (((JawVox))) premiered in San Francisco in 2010 portraying an alien's last hour on earth. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed this sci-fi exploration of human values as a warped reflection of our very real foibles in the funniest possible way. (((JawVox))) was produced in collaboration with The Climate Theater and The Hub of the JCC SF. This show diverged from Walters' autobiographical exploration of madness to create a beatbox comedy that was madness itself.
