Hello,

My name’s James, and I work as a show tech / tour manager / web designer & sound recordist (mainly) in comedy circles.

Live, I’ve toured with Stewart Lee, as Tour Manager & show tech on all of his live shows from 2011/12’s Carpet Remnant World onwards. I’ve also toured with comedians such as Mae Martin, Sean Hughes, Henning Wehn, Bridget Christie, James Acaster & Richard Herring.

I’ve recorded audio for a number of productions, including podcasts for Josie Long & Richard Herring (as well as tour managing the national dates for his RHLSTP tour), and various other projects, including a podcast interview between Conan O’Brien & Ricky Gervais in 2020. I’ve assisted Nick Helm & Nathaniel Metcalfe with their JCAS podcasts, and edited & produced Songs In The Key Of Laugh for Phil Nichol & David Tims.

In 2021 I worked on a music video for Brian May, and a series of podcast interviews with theatre director Ian Rickson on empty stages called What I Love featuring guests such as Ben Whishaw, Chiwitel Ejiofor & Kae Tempest.

I recorded and edited the interview segments for another podcast series called THAT Podcast – with each episode featuring a different host and several guests.

I’ve recorded sound for several DVD recordings for indie label GoFasterStripe, (including shows for Adam Buxton, Thom Tuck, Seymour Mace, Robin Ince and many more) & a podcast series of ‘Virtue Chamber Echo Bravo’ with Tony Law & Phil Nichol.

At the Edinburgh Fringe, I’ve worked on several shows all across the city, including Aisling Bea‘s debut Edinburgh show ‘C’est La Bea’ that saw her nominated for Best Newcomer – as did David Trent‘s ‘Spontaneous Comedian’ the year before.

I worked on all three of James Acaster‘s ‘Trelogy’ shows (which are now available on Netflix) the majority of John-Luke Roberts‘ solo shows, as well as shows for Frank Skinner, Joel Dommett, Bridget Christie, Nathaniel Metcalfe, Henning Wehn, Pete Firman, Paul Currie, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Tony Law, Rosie Holt, and many more.

For television, I’ve worked on Katherine Ryan’s ‘In Trouble‘ special for Netflix, two series of ‘The Alternative Comedy Experience‘ and one of ‘Comedy Central Live‘ for, well, Comedy Central as well as the recordings of all of Stewart Lee‘s live shows from 2012 onwards. I also contributed some music (with Nick Pynn) for the broadcast version of Snowflake.

Beyond live work, I build websites – mainly, though not exclusively, for comedians.
These have been for people such as; Josie Long, Stewart Lee, Aisling Bea, Lucy Porter, Norman Lovett, Bridget Christie, Nish Kumar, Tiernan Douieb, Henning Wehn, Alfie Brown & many more. You can see examples of my work here.
