Comedian and Instagram celebrity Josh Ostrovsky who calls himself ‘The Fat Jew’ has made a career out of acting ridiculous in public and at high profile events, while documenting his antics on the social media website.

He is fast approaching a million followers on Instagram including celebrities like rapper Snoop Dogg, and pop singer Katy Perry.

Offers from brands to feature their product on his Instagram page earn him up to 25 hundred dollars.

He has written and sold two television shows, one to Comedy Central, and another that has been picked up by Amazon.

Also on his list of projects is a book deal, and an electronic house music album, that he describes as “deep, and gay, and German.”

Ostrovsky is quoted as saying: “Some people say, do one thing and do it well. I say, do many things and do them very mediocrely.”

His first notable taste of comedic web fame came from a video he posted of himself leading a group of homeless people
in a spinning class on stationary Citi Bikes in New York City.
