loud, along with James James, as he takes you from a beginning, where he
swallows 3’ of cold hard rubber, through an impossible, totally impossible
discovery, towards the light at the end, where black is white, up is down,
inside is out, and you wonder where all that! came from.
The UK couldn’t hold him, and over the past few years, James’s stand up
show has been booked as far a field as Nelson New Zealand, The Magic
Castle Hollywood, Newcastle Australia, Art Deco Fair Miami Florida,

Thank you for your work on Thursday night. I have received only heaps of

all had a great time. I have just spoken to one guest who said you were
developing a little crowd who were trying to follow you around!!! By the

joking!)
Absolutely brilliant, thanks again.
