Josh Tariff always had a passion for entertaining as a young child. He loved being in front of a family audience, a class, a school assembly or even in front of a concert doing a solo or special introduction. His formal study of acting really began as a young adult in 2006 where he studied at the famous IO West Improv Olympic Theater in Hollywood, CA. Since he began at IO West, Josh has created a very positive following and has earned the utmost respect from the IO West community. Josh currently co hosts the student and main stage cage match shows every Thursday night. In addition he hosts and produces an Improvised version of the classic 70's game show, "Match Game" that is performed every month. He is a member of the Improv. team, "Those who Oppose us will Stand Knee Deep in the Blood of Their Children". Josh's success at IO West was confirmed when his "Match Game" show was asked to be the closing act of the 2009 Los Angeles Improv.Comedy Festival.

Josh has also hosted and managed one of the premiere Dinner Theatre shows in all of Southern California called the "Dinner Detective". Josh has been a part of the DD cast since May of 2007 and in 2008 was quickly promoted to being one of the hosts and managers of this interactive murder mystery show that holds performances every week in Culver City, Long Beach and Santa Ana. Josh has recently taken a sabbatical from this group.

Josh also concentrates on the other areas of acting with his acting coach, Vicki Baumann. Vicki has been training actors for years and has numerous clients that have appeared on both the big and small screens. Josh has become one of Vicki's most recent success stories of a long list of successful clients.
