Cameron James is an award-winning stand-up comedian, musician and storyteller across stages, screens, boomboxes and podcasts.  As seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Spicks & Specks, Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Bump and more. He's won countless rave reviews for his completely unique “rockstar without a band” comedy style; blending songs as catchy as they are funny, painfully true stories and sharp improvisation.  In 2024, Cam partnered up with Aussie music legend Ben Lee's indie record label to release his own comedy music, with his single “Medium D*ck” racking up tens of thousands of Spotify streams and over 9 million views on Instagram and YouTube. His most recent one-hour solo shows, Electric Dreams and Mixtape have sold out around the country, earning him the Director's Choice Award at Sydney Comedy Festival and a nomination for the highly coveted Most Outstanding Show Award at Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He's won multiple awards including the Raw Comedy National Runner Up in 2012, multiple AWGIE Awards for Best Comedy Writing, and an APA Award for Best Entertainment Podcast. Cam has appeared on TV screens in Bump, Utopia, WTFAQ, Question Everything, At Home Alone Together, and his own comedy special on ABC's Comedy Next Gen in 2018. As a sought-after comedy writer, Cam has served multiple seasons on Gruen, Take 5, We Interrupt This Broadcast, At Home Alone Together, Win The Week and Channel Seven's Celebrity Roasts. As head comedy writer on The Feed he's won multiple AWG awards. Whilst all of this is impressive, Cameron's passion is creating his own comedy projects, from his beloved cult sketch series with Becky Lucas, The Becky & Cam Show, to the hit YouTube/Screen Australia series Finding Yeezus and the podcasts Finding Drago and Finding Desperado. The Finding series has amassed an audience of over 1.5 million around the globe, and has been described by The Australian as “tremendously bonkers” and by The AV Club as “brilliantly silly”. He is currently touring his new show “Broken Records” across Australia. Cameron James has been in just about every kind of band you can imagine from reggae to punk to rock and more making Broken Records the perfect show for the comic to bust his rock n roll and comedy chops on. Get ready to dig into Cam's record crate of his life, pinballing from hilariously true stories to cutting cultural commentary to full-blown pop songs. Following a sell-out 2024 season, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Most Outstanding Show nominee, Sydney Comedy Festival Director's Choice winner and Bad Boy of Musical Comedy* (*self-proclaimed), Cameron James is back with his biggest rock ‘n' roll show yet. Cam will tour Broken Records across Australia with songs and stories sure to crack audiences up. We chat about his love of Mike Myers, being stabbed and giving up being in a band, full circle moment with music, embracing his voice and authenticity, new shows coming up, collaborating buddies and thriving together, working with Ben Lee, getting a pilot made, rejection, trying new things plus plenty more!

All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 91, I join comedian, actor, writer, and podcast guy behind Total Reboot, Mike Check and Finding Drago, Cameron James. Cameron and I discuss the career of Robert Redford, great tactics of interrogation and - in a first for the show - being inspired to purchase a corduroy jacket. ------------------- About Cameron James ------------------- Cameron James is a quickly rising comedian, actor, writer, and podcast guy. His laid back, confident demeanour combined with seamless crowd work and instinctive smooth improvisation style has gained him a reputation as one of the most exciting and hilarious performers on the circuit today. He can currently be seen being funny on SBS’ The Feed where he is also the head writer and producer. You’ve also seen him on your screens with his cohort, Becky Lucas, in their massive online series for Comedy Central “Share This” as well as their ABC Fresh Blood pilot “Be Your Own Boss” which they created, co-wrote and co-starred in. His face has also appeared on the ABC’s hit show Utopia , and you can hear him on his chart topping podcasts “Mike Check”, “Total Reboot” and the absolutely huge hit “Finding Drago” which is available on the ABC website. Accolades include an acclaimed 1 hour comedy special airing on ABC’s “Comedy Next Gen” and he was National Runner-Up in Triple J’s 2012 Raw Comedy. Cameron has also made multiple appearances on Triple J and has experienced sold out runs at Perth Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe, Sydney Fringe, Sydney Comedy Festival, Bondi Feast and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his solo shows. Named one of the “Funniest Aussie Comedians co follow On Social Media” by the Herald Sun, Cameron James is known for being a charming troublemaker with a reputation for being able to neatly deliver the art of observational and confessional material in both an intelligent and amusing approach. He’s supported comedy legends such as Wil Anderson, Tom Green (Can), Ari Shaffir (US), Tony Hinchcliffe (US), Akmal, and has been hand picked to perform for over two thousand people at Splendour in the Grass for multiple years running. Cameron James is clearly a new comedy talent with a big future. He thinks you should listen to music loud, never litter and be good to your mother. *Twitter:* @iamcameronjames ( https://twitter.com/iamcameronjames ) *Podcasts:* Finding Drago ( https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/finding-drago/ ) , Total Reboot ( https://t.co/oca3rZ2ntO?amp=1 ) , Mike Check ( https://t.co/KcMTI3agQt?amp=1 ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute eighteen host, Blake Howard joins the hilarious host of the Total Reboot podcast and the phenomenal Finding Drago podcast, Alexei Toliopoulos. Blake and Alexei talk laugh, giggle and "oomph" through the secret history that this minute inspired Alexei and pod partner Cameron James' incredible podcast Finding Drago.
