Noel James' credits are too numerous to list in full so
we asked him to write his own biography to give you an idea how
this bizarre mans brain ticks.
"My name is Infact Noel James, although I never
pronounce the Infact…"
These are the first words of Infact Noel James' act -
an act which, dare I say, confounds even his closest
psychopathic hangers-on.
For eight years, Noel has performed comedy throughout
the UK. He does it for a living and has performed at all the
major clubs and festivals. Glastonbury, Reading, Edinburgh to
name but three.
Before entering showbiz old Noel tried his hand at
teaching. Without much success, he taught English as a foreign
language: he taught it as Welsh!
WELSH - Old English translation meaning 'Foreign'
The above definition gains significance when you perceive his
lilting delivery. Not only does it have totally tropical taste
and perfect timing but indeed it stems from his mouth which has
its dark origins firmly rooted in that far-off land called
Wales. As you will see, the rest of his body has no fixed abode
but its amazing what a transplant operation can do.
But not for him the comedy of stereotyping - he finds
it all too easy. Well, he is a Capricorn (near the Sagittarius
end which makes him a Saggycorn)- His act is gag, gag, gag all
the way - though some of it consists of non-baby-talk. Above
all, his act is highly original; the guy who wrote it assured
him of this.
Surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, somehow
strangely attractive. No, seriously he is a very accessible act
who generally goes down well anywhere.
TV Credits worth mentioning include:
Packing Them in -Channel 4
The Stand-up Show -BBC
Giamocs -S4C
The last one you may not have heard of. It was a Welsh
language Show which Noel Co-wrote and starred in and it got
nominated for the Rose of Montreauxoxex (and that's true).
He's also done a bit of serious acting, and as for
music! Well, what he does is throw in a bit of guitar playing
and singing, of a sort, as well as a few prop gags. I'm telling
you, this man is so spontaneous he'd combust if it didn't ruin
his shirt! He's really funny.
