Description: James Trickey is a British comedian whose work blends sharp writing, physical comedy, and, in his new show, one of the more extraordinary Edinburgh Fringe stories in recent memory. By day he works as an accountant; by night he has been building a reputation as one of the most promising young voices on the live circuit, with appearances across the UK, a Chortle Student Comedy Award nomination, and a Best New Show nomination at the Leicester Comedy Festival.Last year, his sold-out Edinburgh debut, Don’t Count on Me, marked him out as a rising talent, earning strong reviews and an enviable word-of-mouth reputation. Since then, he has appeared on the BBC’s Funny Parts and returned to the Fringe with a new show shaped in part by the strange and unexpectedly dramatic events of last summer.LINKS:James Trickey – follow & ticketsJames Trickey – Instagram (@jamestrickey_)James Trickey: Split – Edinburgh Fringe 2026 tickets (Pleasance Courtyard, 9:25pm, 5–30 August)James Trickey: Split – Avalon press releaseJames's Perfect ConsoleThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – WikipediaThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered – SteamHalo 3 – WikipediaUndertale – official siteUndertale – SteamGod of War (2018) – PlayStationGod of War (2018) – WikipediaThe Last of Us Part II – PlayStationThe Last of Us Part II – WikipediaBristol comedians to watchAbi Clarke – comedian and content creatorAlex Kitson – Chortle profileJessie Nixon – Chortle profileTed Milligan – British Comedy GuidePravanya Pillay – PBJ ManagementAlso mentionedAlfie Brown – comedianGlenn Moore – at the Monkey Barrel, Edinburgh FringePokémon Crystal – WikipediaSuper Mario Advance (Game Boy Advance) – WikipediaLeague of Legends – official siteSupport the showMy Perfect Console – episode archiveSupport My Perfect Console on PatreonBecome a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.
