Biography

Joshua Desjardins is New York City’s FAVORITE theatre nerd! Originally from Boston, Joshua graduated with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. He then became the Executive Assistant for Cabaret Pittsburgh, where he had the pleasure of meeting and working with musical theatre geniuses such as Elaine Stritch, Stephen Schwartz, Tom Wopat, Craig Carnelia, KT Sullivan, Ann Hampton & Liz Callaway, and more! He also earned his Actor’s Equity card for his performance as the Happy Prince in Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre’s “Wilde Tales.”

Joshua is currently living in New York City, where he recently performed his original one-man show, “Nerds Among Us,” at Don’t Tell Mama. More on his show can be found at www.nerdsamongus.com
Joshua has also begun to record new music, with his first song entitled, “Melanie (Doncha Make Her Dance Alone),” as part of Melanie LaPatin’s Ballroom Remixed album. His most recent single, however, called “I’m a Nerd,” has become an even bigger success, and Joshua has high hopes for this piece to be sung on Glee! Both songs are currently available to download on iTunes and Amazon, but in the meantime, he thanks you for your continued support!
