James Redmond is a dry, slick and subtle stand up who delivers unexpected twists and turns during his set as he deconstructs his art.
He made his name as a model and actor and is best known for seminal roles in ‘HOLLYOAKS’ (C4) and ‘CASUALTY’ (BBC1) and presenting ‘SM:TV’ & ‘CD:UK’ (ITV), alongside Cat Deeley. He has appeared on ‘NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS’ (BBC2), 'CELEBRITY COME DINE WITH ME' (C4) with fellow comedians Paul Foot & Joey Page, and is a regular guest and contributor on ‘SOCCER AM’ (Sky 1) & Radio 5 Live.
James performs 6 nights a week, all over the U.K. as compere, or with a set of up to 30 minutes and has done over 350 gigs in his first 2 years, including:
The Comedy Store
Conan O'Brien's 'The Tonight Show' Talent Search (as MC)
Comedy Rush at The Shaftesbury Theatre
Jongleurs, Camden
Banana Cabaret
Bracknell Comedy Cellar
The 100 Club
The BBC Club
Spank!
Amused Moose, Soho
Laughterhouse, Liverpool
The Funny Side
& the comedy festivals of Bristol, Exeter, Guernsey, Hull & Liverpool.
He shared a daily, hour-long show at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has also played the university circuit and a range of clubs for his agents, the UK’s largest comedy bookers, Mirth Control Ltd.
In addition, he hosts the charity comedy club, ‘Laughing Stock’, in Hampstead, and has hosted charity events at Shoreditch House, Bristol Cathedral & the Indigo O2.
‘Fresh-off-the-telly James Redmond has the makings of a really good comic. His tales of texting, girlfriends and Barry from Bristol are quality stuff.’- Kate Copstick for ‘Fringe Magazine’, Review of Edinburgh Festival debut, 2010
