Within a year he had reached the final of three national competitions and appeared on Jimmy Carr's DVD Stand Up. He performed his first full-length solo show at the Camden Fringe in August 2009, titled: James Mullinger Is The Bad Boy Of Feminism. The controversial subject matter and painfully funny anecdotes were a hit with both critics and audiences at the Camden Fringe in August. Both shows sold out and Time Out described it as “very funny stuff” and it was named one of the best shows by the Evening Standard, Metro and London Lite. He then toured the UK with the show culminating with two sold out shows at London's Soho Theatre in June 2010. He has toured three subsequent solo stand up shows (James Mullinger's Schooldays, An Hour Of Killer Stand Up and The Man With No Shame) and continues to perform in clubs all over the world. In May 2005 he created Upstairs at the Masons, a small comedy club in Mayfair, London. Every other week the club has several comedians performing, and have attracted comedians such as Russell Brand, Michael McIntyre, Richard Herring, Shappi Khorsandi and Stewart Lee among others to try out new material. They were shut down after a social worker complained of hearing offensive material. However, after the management changed, it was reopened, and was featured in Time Out, The Guardian among others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Mullinger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
