"James Ellis is a triple threat, he’s really very bloody funny, has a great stage presence and has the best hair in the business” -
Angela Barnes
"A frightening amount of brilliant punchlines, delivered by a genuinely funny guy. I was laughing the whole time James was on and so was everyone else. Top stuff” -
Paul McCaffrey
"James Ellis is nice… and very funny. If you run a night of comedy then get him on it. That is all.” -
