Mike James

Mike James comedy career began at the age of ten, when during show-and-tell he would recite jokes he heard on Letterman. Now that he’s older, he writes his own stuff. His smart, energetic act pokes holes in the faulty logic of others by  combining razor sharp wit with outright absurdity.
