James has been a professional comedian since 2003, performing all over the country at clubs such as The Glee,  Komedia and Hot Water among others.  More Info Here.

He has performed 10 different shows across 8 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals and has been the opening act for Gary Delaney (Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo) and Paul Sinha (The Chase, Taskmaster) on their tours.

His act has been described as "truly original" (Danny Wallace (off of the telly)), whereas he’s been called "suave and chirpy" by the world famous Bromsgrove Advertiser, and a "sarcastic raconteur" by the Leeds Metro.

For some reason, this means that he has been likened to "the future Frank Skinner" (Birmingham Metro) and "Dylan Moran’s younger brother" (The Stage). How this is possible remains a mystery.

A slightly less lazy journalist said that he "shows scant regard for the hackneyed conventions of stand-up" (The Scotsman) which, he’s been assured, is a Good Thing. His two favourite quotes are that he "destroyed my concrete belief that all comperes are twats" (eyeonmoseley.com) and that "his quick tongue and dry sense of humour kept me laughing" (BBC Tees).

James has won a Jongleurs/Spike Milligan award for Stand-up, and an NTL Award for his radio presenting.
