490 - RHYS JAMES - 'Mock The Week' Secrets, Supporting Alan Carr, & Bankrupt From His CAT!

Listen to this episode from JaackMaate’s Happy Hour on Spotify. Comedian Rhys James swaps stand up for... sit down... as he joins Jaack and Stevie in the Happy Hour studio! Rhys is no stranger to panel shows, having appeared on Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week countless times. He shares some insider secrets, and exactly why prepping for a show is pretty tough. Rhys tells us why he swapped politics for comedy to kick off a stand up career aged 17, and shares how he convinced people that Alan Carr supported HIM. Rhys also reveals what Tommy Fury did that made him cringe when he was sat near him at the England semi final, and why his cat (given its name by a very famous comedian) is making him bankrupt... We also play a game of 'Rhys James or Reece James' where we ask Rhys whether the tweets were from Rhys James, or Reece James. Confusing? Slightly. Worth a listen? Absolutely.
