James Cook is an award-winning comedian who regularly appears at comedy clubs around the country, the Edinburgh Fringe festival and has opened for Gary Delaney and Paul Sinha on their national tours.
He is also the host of cult Fringe hit Board Game Smackdown and a UK board game champion!
His act has been described as “truly original” (Danny Wallace (off of the telly)), whereas he’s been called “suave and chirpy” by that publishing powerhouse, the Bromsgrove Advertiser, and a “sarcastic raconteur” by the Leeds Metro.
James won a Jongleurs/Spike Milligan award for being the funniest person in the Midlands in 2003. It’s been fourteen years and they haven’t asked for it back, so he’s assuming it must still be him.
He has also worked as a presenter on three commercial radio stations during which time he went onstage with A-ha, presented Lenny Henry with his Walk Of Fame Star and was a guest judge on the Dancing On Ice tour at the Nottingham Arena in front of 10,000 people.
