Getting Mouthy with James Domestic

James Domestic is in high demand for spoken word shows.

On 4th March he headlined a sold-out show at HotBox, Chelmsford.  Two days later he was supporting the comedy writing legend, Andy Riley, at Sudbury Arts Centre. Around half his set was new material that will feature in his next book, tentatively titled …Is an Acquired Taste. You can check out videos from the Sudbury show here:
