About me

Since starting comedy in 2010, James has established himself as one of the most in-demand MCs and TV warm-ups. He writes on The John Bishop Show and The Ranganation, as well as ghost-writes for comedian pals on panel shows (including Have I Got News For You).

​

James has more than 20 years of experience as a journalist, launching the Balance podcast, and writing for the likes of Balance, ShortList, the London Paper, the Standard and many more.

James launched the popular comedy night Always Be Comedy in 2011, which continues to prove a huge hit throughout lockdown, having featured on BBC News, Sunday Brunch, Lorraine, the Guardian and much more.
