Heart wrenching and emotional show from James. Good balance of laughs and openness about his sisters passing made this a must see show.

James is a proper cheeky chap, hilarious. You can't hate him even if you tried. His crowd work is brilliant. This show tugs at your heart string, its brutally honest and raw. But you'll have a ball with James (add him on your WhatsApp group for marbs) *****

Absolutely hilarious!! If you only see one show this fringe, make sure it’s this one!! Such a funny guy who makes you feel like you’re one of his pals. Very down to earth and so so funny. As an Edinburgh resident who has been to the fringe many times throughout the years, he is one of the funniest guys I have seen! Thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be back again to see his show next year. 100/10

A honestly brilliant show for a warm likeable down to earth guy. A genuinely heartfelt comedy show. Including the audience in all the fun but not taking the Mickey out of them or belittling them. Came out of the show feeling like I knew him and the rest of the audience a little better. Stand out show, go see it

James is brilliant! A genuinely funny guy who worked the audience superbly. Loved listening to his positive outlook, even when life can hit you hardest. We would highly recommend James, he’s exactly what comedy at the Fringe should be.
