About James Beckett
Stutter Island is a stand-up comedy show by James Beckett that explores navigating life as somebody with a stutter, and his 12-year break from the comedy scene. Beckett is a semi-finalist in So You Think You're Funny and the Laughing Horse New Act competition, and a winner of Beat the Frog and Mr Bens. Each performance also features a guest appearance from another Fringe performer, changing each day. The show takes place at the Sunken Room and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A comedian returning to the stage after a 12-year absence, performing material about the very thing that kept him away. That's a genuine story, and the rotating guest slot adds a spontaneous quality that makes each performance its own.
