About James McNicholas: The Boxer
The heart-warming, hilarious true story of James and his granddad, world middleweight champion Terry Downes. The Guardian **** “A heavyweight hour of stand-up and storytelling” The Boxer is James' first solo comedy show. It tells the story of his world champion grandfather, Terry Downes, drawing comparison between burly boxer and frail comic. James was previously known for being one third of Fringe stalwarts and critically acclaimed sketch group BEASTS, with whom he enjoyed five sell-out years in Edinburgh and successful runs at London's prestigious Soho Theatre. He is one of the stars and writers of the BBC's Horrible Histories, and will also be appearing on screens this year in The Reluctant Landlord (Sky One) and Muzlamic (BBC). 15+ Tags: Character Comedy,Funny,Storytelling
