James now preforms all around the Midwest telling sharp, wonderfully funny stories about growing up, mental health, and his odd, semi-dysfunctional family. James Stanley was a semi-finalist in ‘Funniest Person with a Day Job’ contest and works regularly as a comedian at Acme Comedy Company and Laugh Camp Comedy. James has been featured in the yearly write up for 2021 Comics to Watch MN.
