Rhys James Speaks Out On Mean Tweets, Losing Money And Flopping On Stage

My guest today is a comedian, whose regular appearances on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week turned him into a household name before his thirtieth birthday.
His stand-up has been described as “verbally virtuosic” and his sets as “lightning-paced, gag-dense, precision-delivered”.
After his most recent stint at the Fringe last month (August), he is now undertaking his second nationwide tour, Spilt Milk.
My guest today is Rhys James.
