About this show
After his sell out debut hour last year ended with a bang, James Trickey got more than he bargained for. This year, he's back with a vengeance (and a brand-new hour) in an attempt to fill his boots with as much as you'll give him. 'A seamless, polished delight that guarantees one thing: you will leave laughing' (List). 'A very funny comedian' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). 'An impressive level of performance' (Fest). 'Trickey has certainly got it' (Guardian).
