Description

People keep telling James he's "too gay". Straight Jokes is his fabulous reply. An out-of-control hour of jokes from the utterly hilarious, nearly national treasure. James roasts his ex-employers and navigates the exhausting admin of finally accepting who you are. A battle cry to be yourself. The gay half of hit comedy podcast A Gay and A NonGay, which has had over 5 million listens, and co-host of The Hits Radio Breakfast Show. The award-winning ginger returns to Edinburgh after his five-star 2019 debut, Thirst Trap.

A genuinely laugh-out-loud, strong piece of LGBTQ+ standup - very relatable.

He does well to keep proceedings on-topic, and demonstrates considerable skill in tackling some weighty matters in such an animated and engaging way.
