Hello. I'm James Campbell.

I decided to be a writer when I was seven.
When I was twenty-one I did a bit of voluntary work in a primary school in Cambridgeshire. I then started travelling to primary schools telling my stories.

Over the next few years the stories got more tangential and funnier. Eventually, other people told me that I was a stand-up comedian. I believed them and started doing that too.
Over a number of years, many schools, theatres, libraries and comedy clubs, comedy mingled with storytelling; poetry mixed with anecdotes; and eventually something called Comedy 4 Kids was born.

These days, I spend most weekends in a theatre somewhere, doing my one man show. It's for children over six and their families. I talk about funny things in a funny way that children seem to like.

In the week, I travel around primary schools, telling stories and encouraging children to write their own stuff.
The rest of the time I fiddle around in my allotment, annoy my own children and mumble to myself in the woods.

Occasionally I host a new online TV show called The Big Book Babble.

I've tried to put some good things on this site. If there's anything you'd like to see but isn't here, just ask me. It's probably under my desk.

I'm very happy. Try it.
