He has appeared on 'NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS' (BBC2), 'CELEBRITY COME DINE WITH ME' (C4) with fellow comedians Paul Foot & Joey Page, and is a regular guest and contributor on 'SOCCER AM' (Sky 1) & Radio 5 Live.
James performs 6 nights a week, all over the U.K. as compere, or with a set of up to 30 minutes and has done over 350 gigs in his first 2 years, including:
The Comedy Store
Conan O'Brien's 'The Tonight Show' Talent Search (as MC)

In addition, he hosts the charity comedy club, 'Laughing Stock', in Hampstead, and has hosted charity events at Shoreditch House, Bristol Cathedral & the Indigo O2.
'Fresh-off-the-telly James Redmond has the makings of a really good comic. His tales of texting, girlfriends and Barry from Bristol are quality stuff.'- Kate Copstick for 'Fringe Magazine', Review of Edinburgh Festival debut, 2010
