What else is there?

James loves the world of comedy. In days past he lived the Edinburgh Fringe as a performer, has been seven Jane Austen characters in 45 minutes and can claim to be canon in Doctor Who. He is also proud of his award winning short films that sent him briefly to California.

Televigion is specifically thoughts on TV, but there’s more! The Filmboyslim Substack page is work in progress writing, always in the key of comedy, and will be aimed towards becoming something visual.

James is delighted by conversations about being creative in general, and this is another good place to do it.
