Production details
In demand both for his stand-up and increasingly for his compere work, Jim's act touches on his odd life, his obsession for knowledge and his downright childish silliness. A regular compere throughout the UK, since 2006 he has been resident compere at the Giggling Badger clubs in the East Midlands. Performing as an MC has opened up his act to new realms of messing around and making audiences act out his every whim as his enthusiasm takes centre stage. Jim was a finalist in the Laughing Horse new act competition in 2006 and again a finalist in the Equity Comedian of the Year competition in 2007. He has received critical acclaim around the UK for his comedy and is becoming increasingly in demand on the circuit. This helps his self esteem somewhat, but possibly doesn't help his bizarre outlook on life. Thus far the high point of Jim's career has been performing in front of 2,000 people at Leicester's De Montfort Hall for the 2007 Leicester Comedy Festival Preview Show alongside Jason Byrne, Rhod Gilbert and Russell Howard.
