Overview

James King is a stand-up comedian originally from Port Henry, NY, and now based on Long Island. For over 12 years, he’s honed his craft performing across the Northeast at comedy clubs, bars, breweries, and anywhere else he can. James' comedy is personal, leaving audiences laughing and often learning a little too much about his life. From growing up in a small town of 1,600 people to performing for larger crowds than that on a weekend, James' comedy blends his unique perspective on growing up as one of the few minorities in rural New York with light-hearted humor about relationships, music, and pop culture. His stories are real, raw, and funny, offering a mix of wit, charm, and relatability.

What to expect

I perform stand up comedy on a variety of topics in my life. I make a lot of jokes about race, growing up in a small community, and my relationship. While I am not a dirty comic, some of my jokes are suggestive and focus on aspects of sex or racism that might make some people uncomfortable. I recommend that the crowd be 18+.

In terms of performance you should expect to see a high energy performer who loves to have fun with crowds. Whether it's talking about my personal life or making jokes about pop culture I always try to find ways to connect with my audience.
