Rhys James

Rhys James was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1991, before moving to Hertfordshire where he grew up. Aged 9, he played the title character in a local production of Oliver Twist. Since then, he has gone on to perform stand-up comedy around the world, including six solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and two international sell-out tours. Rhys has appeared on Live At The Apollo, QI, A League Of Their Own and, most notably, as a regular panellist on BBC Two’s Mock the Week. He has created three critically acclaimed shows for BBC Radio 4, including the ARIAS nominated Rhysearch. His U&Dave lecture, ‘I Stalk Strangers Online’, became a viral hit, and his debut DVD Spilt Milk sold out completely in just 90 minutes. There was one copy.
