Ron James' distinctive blend of physical comedy and astute observations seamlessly weaves together humorous anecdotes from his everyday experiences, such as the relentless torment of mosquitoes during a Canadian camping trip, and the sheer terror of being stuck in a traffic jam with an impending bladder emergency.
His boundless energy and unique comedic style have been showcased on a diverse array of networks, including CBC, Global, CTV, CBS, NBC, HBO, Disney, and the FOX network. Notably, he has made appearances on The Martin Short Special, The Dave Thomas Special, and the Jim Henson Hour.
As a seasoned member of Second City, James wrote, produced, and starred in the critically-acclaimed one-man show Up & Down in Shaky Town: One Man's Journey Through the California Dream, which aired on The Comedy Network. This show is based on his real-life experiences as a hapless Canadian trying to navigate the cutthroat environment of Los Angeles.
In addition to his television work, James has been a headliner at numerous prestigious 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 praised by Sid Adilman of the Toronto Star as "one of the best television events of 1998."
