Testimonials:

A cut above his humdrum peers.

The Independent

Next up the rather dashing and precocious young talent Rhys James had some truly great jokes which will see him prosper in no time at all.

The Latest

At 22-years-old, Rhys James is a sickeningly talented young stand-up. He’s a super-sharp writer, with a ton of smart, intricately-written jokes and stories where you’re never more than a few seconds away from another punchline.

Ben Williams, Time Out

A sharp and confident comedian. His day job as performance poet was evident from the fun he has with language. It’s that febrile mind that sets him apart.
