Live Q+A with Josh Gad
Join us for a live Q+A with NSDA alum, actor, and author Josh Gad!
We will be celebrating the release of his new memoir, In Gad We Trust.
Josh Gad is an award-winning actor, singer, and comedian. He is known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen franchise, playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
He competed at NSU University School in Florida from 1996 to 1999. Gad was the Humorous Interpretation national champion in 1999 as well as the Original Oratory champion in 1998 and 1999.
In Gad We Trust
A heartfelt and hilarious collection of essays from the comedian and entertainer known for voicing Olaf in the phenomenon Disney franchise of Frozen and his award-winning turn as Elder Cunningham in the Broadway smash hit The Book of Mormon.
For the first and possibly last time, Josh Gad dives into a wide array of personal topics: the lasting impact of his parents’ divorce; how he struggled with weight and self-image; his first big break; how everyone was sure his most successful ventures (both on the big screen and the stage) would fail; his take on fatherhood, and so much more. This trip down the rabbit hole of overly personal stories will distract readers from climate change, the downward descent of democracy in Western civilization, and the existential threat that AI poses to Drake’s music—with never-before-seen photos and few-to-no spelling errors.
Punchline
Watch Josh Gad’s national champion 1998 Original Oratory performance, “Punchline.” Chapter 2 of In Gad We Trust recounts the journey leading up to this final round performance.
