No More Mr Nice Guy
James is haunted by one word; ‘nice’. Everyone thinks he’s nice. But after recently being mugged by school children at a swimming pool, James decided it was time to act. What happens when a sweet, gentle guy tries to embrace his dark side?
No More Mr Nice Guy is the story of a man doing battle with his angels. James explores the positives and pitfalls of always being regarded as nice. The old James would rather not cause a fuss, always looked on the bright side, and felt trapped by politeness. But nice guys don’t finish last, they don’t even run the race. The new James unbuttons his cardigan, asserts himself and tackles society's bullies; it’s time for this stand-up to stand up for himself. Fringe Festival.
