Hi James. Who are you and what do you do in comedy?
I'm James, my background is in social media videos. I have had huge success on platforms such as YouTube and LadBible. My videos have been viewed over 52 million times.
Tell us about how you first became involved in the comedy world.
Following lots of interest surrounding my YouTube uploads I decided to concentrate full time on my passion for scripted comedy.
Tell us about your comedy favourites.
British TV sitcoms rule! Anything from Dad's Army to Meet The Richardsons. We are the best in the world at the genre.
The comedy industry is competitive. Why should people pick you to work with?
I'm funny! A breath of fresh air in the sometimes sterile and repetitive area of scripted comedy. I'm also fiercely working class, an authentic voice where it is needed most.
What's the best advice you've ever been given, read or heard?
If you're good enough - you'll make it.
Where would you like to be in 10 years' time?
Sat where I am now; at my writing desk, scripting the fifth series my Bafta winning sitcom.
If you ever get free time, how do you spend it?
I like to be outdoors, either with, or without our young family.
Metal detecting is a particular favourite hobby of mine at the moment.
I also coach youth football, my team are not the best... but they laugh a lot.
If you ever get free time, how do you spend it?
A cure for either autism or diabetes, both of which affect my little family.
