054: Cameron James – Building a comedy brand with your own hands

Sometimes anonymity can give you the courage to try something
scary. That was the case for Cameron James, the Newcastle born
comedian whose first open mic was at Comedy on Edge in Sydney,
where he knew no one – intentionally.


Today, Cameron is well known, having made the national final of
Raw Comedy, performed all over Australia, and has representation.
This year he’s performing at his show, Chilled Out/Fired Up at
the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.


In this interview, we talk about Cameron’s comedy birth, getting
acting spots on telly, building his personal brand through
investing in his own social media content, and the popularity of
podcasting for comedians.
