CAMERON JAMES
BIOGRAPHY
Comedian / Writer / Podcaster
Cameron James is an award-winning stand-up comedian and creative force across stages, screens and podcasts.
Cameron has won countless rave reviews for his unique and warm comedy style that blends hilariously honest storytelling, music, improv and an open-hearted embrace of the chaotic. In 2022, he toured his highly acclaimed show Electric Dreams to sold out solo performances around the country, from Melbourne’s Max Watts to Sydney’s Factory Theatre and Newcastle’s Town Hall.
Since beginning his comedy career as a Raw Comedy National Runner Up in 2012, he has gone on to win an AWGIE Award for Best Comedy Writing, an APA Award for Best Entertainment Podcast, the Director’s Choice Award at Sydney Comedy Festival as well as being nominated for the highly coveted Most Outstanding Show Award at Melbourne Int. Comedy Festival in 2022.
Offstage, Cameron has most recently acted as primary cast member and writer on ABC’s WTFAQ, At Home Alone Together (ABC), a guest actor on Bump (Stan), a recurring panelist on Question Everything (ABC), as a performer and head comedy writer on The Feed (SBS) and performing in his own comedy special on ABC’s Comedy Next Gen in 2018. He’s also popped up here and there on Utopia (ABC) as an annoying guy, and Orange Is The New Brown (Seven) as another annoying guy.
Over the past few years, he has become a sought out comedy writer, serving multiple seasons on Gruen (ABC), Win The Week (ABC), Channel Seven’s “Roasts” as well as The Feed where he won multiple AWG awards.
Cameron has found most of his success on something called “the Internet”, with his hit YouTube/Screen Australia series Finding Yeezus and the podcasts Finding Drago and Finding Desperado amassing an audience of over 1.5 million around the globe. A comedy spin on the true crime genre, these shows have been described by The Australian as “tremendously bonkers” and by The AV Club as “brilliantly silly”.
In 2024, Cameron will release his debut single, Boys Night, produced by ARIA-nominated Joyride, and released through Ben Lee & Ione Skye’s record label, Weirder Together. He will also tour his new show, Mixtape, throughout Australia.
