Rhys James was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1991, before moving to Hertfordshire where he grew up. Age 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 festival and two international sell-out tours.

As seen on Live At The Apollo, QI, A League Of Their Own and many more, Rhys was most notably one of the final regulars on BBC’s Mock The Week. He has created three critically acclaimed shows for BBC Radio 4, including the ARIA nominated ‘Rhysearch’. His Dave lecture ‘I Stalk Strangers Online’ was a viral hit, and his debut DVD ‘Spilt Milk’ sold out completely in just 90 minutes. There was one copy.
