James Trickey is a rising comedian, hailed as “absolutely one to watch” (Edinburgh Reviews).
With a sharp mind and a distinct take on life, he crafts a blend of silly gags and physical comedy with clever and surprising routines.His Edinburgh Fringe debut hour ‘Don’t Count on Me’ was a sell-out hit and critical success, with The List’s four-star review commending “Trickey’s command of the stage is absolute, his timing flawless” and The Guardian confirming “Trickey has certainly got it“. His sophomore show “Split” was about being punched in the face during his show at the Edinburgh Fringe and was “a well crafted, well performed show with proper warmth at its heart.” (EdFringe Review ★★★★★)
He recently featured in an episode of Funny Parts (BBC).
Performing across the UK and at numerous festivals, James was the Chortle Student Comedy runner-up in 2018 and was recently nominated for Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. He has appeared as tour support for Phil Wang, Stevie Martin and Sam Nicoresti.
