Ron James' unique brand of physical comedy is balanced with intelligent and informative observations on everything from the mosquito driven torment of a Canadian camping trip to the sheer terror of being in a traffic jam with your bladder about to explode. His kinetic energy and comic style have been seen on CBC, Global, CTV, CBS, NBC, HBO, Disney and the FOX network, and he has also appeared on The Martin Short Special, The Dave Thomas Special and the Jim Henson Hour. A longtime member of Second City, James wrote, produced and starred in the critically- acclaimed Up & Down in Shaky Town: One Man's Journey Through the California Dream. This one-man show, which aired on The Comedy Network, is based on his real-life experience as a hapless Canuck trying to survive and succeed in the cut-throat environs of Los Angeles. James has also been a headliner at many leading comedy festivals including the Banff International Film & Television Festival, Just for Laughs and the Toronto International Comedy Festival. In 1998 he filmed a 90-minute Comedy Special for CTV which was considered by Sid Adilman of the Toronto Star to be, 'one of the best television events of 1998.'
