Comedian Rhys James joins Mo Gilligan on Beginning Middle End to talk about his journey from Hertfordshire open mics to becoming one of the sharpest voices in UK stand-up. They dive into his awkward teenage years, disastrous romantic gestures, and how he hustled his way through comedy competitions and the Edinburgh Fringe. Rhys also opens up about finding his comic voice, surviving tough gigs, and what it’s like going from writing poetry for girls at school to writing a book, You’ll Like It When You Get There.
