Growing up, he loved watching Comic View, a stand-up comedy show on BET, and In Living Color, with the Wayans family, Jim Carrey, and Jamie Fox being huge influences from that show. Since he started, he has performed at all the local Chicago clubs (Zanies, Laugh Factory, and Comedy Bar), in comedy festivals all over the United States, won several competitions, and featured and opened for Jacob Williams (America's Got Talent, Wild n Out), Hans Kim (Kill Tony Podcast), and SNL alumni Tim Meadows and Chris Redd. He has even created his own sketch comedy web series, VaudevilleTV. James is an energetic, funny, controversial, yet personable entertainer who is always ready to have fun with the crowd!
