James Cook: Anonymously Viral

It was great to see James' show on the weekend. It was engaging, fun and definitely recommended for anyone wanting a guaranteed laugh. An interesting take on social media in the modern age, with jokes that we can all relate to. After a full day of watching comedy, this one was a definite highlight.

Be sure to catch this show in the last couple of days at the Fringe!

Very funny, much recommended. Has an engaging stage presence.

We always try to catch James when we visit the fringe.
He’s a great comedian, likeable, self-deprecating and really funny.
This is the best of his shows we have seen, he has crafted an hour of engaging, themed material with many laughs.
It’s the free fringe, what’s to lose?
You’ve got a few more days to catch this excellent show.

The 14th best show at the Fringe. Not bad eh!

Great show, walked in totally randomly with no expectations and so glad we took a punt! There’s elements of Dave Gorman here, with the long form storytelling and accompanying power point, and elements of Adam Buxton in pulling apart mad comments on social media. Incredibly well paced and funny, if you see one free fringe show this year, make it this one.

A really fun piece of stand-up comedy! If you are in for a good laugh do not miss it! James has managed to take a potentially small anecdotal event (going viral) and turn it into a one hour of fun.

Probably aimed at my generation, but we thought this show was excellent! We planned to come to this after seeing James in another show, and this one didn’t disappoint. Playing to a packed room, James was hilarious for the whole show. My 19 year old also loved it. We’ll definitely come and see James again. Highly recommend!!!

We randomly came to James's free show for a works day out, the title of the show with the 5 stars next to it intrigued us. My colleagues and I really enjoyed the show, it was the best free show we had been to all day, and I was quite surprised at the small audience. James deserves to be in a bigger venue with a larger audience. Make sure you don't miss out, and follow him on twitter!

Really enjoyed this show. Very topical and true! Would definitely recommend to all. He’s funny, really likeable and we can all relate to his chosen topic of social media. Another wee gem from the free comedy circuit.

Our first show of this year’s fringe, and a veritable treat, clever, funny, engrossing, James has well honed comedy chops, he holds the room, the laughs are aplenty, interlaced with titbits of trivia and background info, which makes the hour breeze by. A great show to start with, value for money and well worth your time.

An hour well spent. Clever, witty, engaging and deserving of a bigger venue. Maybe a bit of crowd work?

Part of the free fringe but it was so good my son and I gladly parted with more money than for any other show in Edinburgh this year. Not sure what I expected, but this was so much better. A tight, funny, gently-self-deprecating set, as well-crafted as the viral rage-tweet which inspired it (which I actually remember retweeting myself). God Save the King!

A genuinely warming brummy voice from a comedian who knows his art, delivering joke after joke through interactive conversation, transporting you to a place of relaxation and constant laughter! References which tap into my era in a way which wraps you up in a reminiscent glow, as we are taken through the bizarre world which is social media sharing and ranting

Saw the show today with my 14 year old son (9/10 and in his top 3 shows of the Fringe- and we have seen a lot). Whom am I to argue? Great show for fans of when Twitter was a great place to use.

My wife & I went to see James as we had some spare time & we both agree, it was an hour VERY well spent. A polished Pro standup who's obviously done the clubs for year, we loved his delivery & had us laughing throughout.

His show is a humorous, pertinent reminder to me as to why I've never bothered joining Twitter (or whatever the **** it's called these days), but that I'm extremely happy that guys like James have!

Definitely recommend his show if you what to see a smart, intelligent guy who knows his stuff & above everything is just bloody FUNNY.

God Save The King

Went to see James last night. Incredibly funny and very much worth the watch. I'd 100% pay to see him again so it's a no brainer for a free show. Highly recommend

Managed to pass the venue, he promoted his show, we give it a chance, no expectations, me and my friends came home with a full laugh. If you enjoyed social media and the net, you'll relate and enjoy this. Kudos!
