L.O.L. James

Marty Wilson (AKA L.O.L James) had a comedy career full of amazing milestones. In 12 months he went from open mike to appearing on The Footy Show; on the way winning the prestigious Green Faces in Canberra – the only national competition judged by audience vote. Then he chased an English girl to the UK where he worked as a headlining artist at all the leading British and Irish comedy clubs, including The Comedy Store, The Gleeclub and Jongleurs. He moistened underwear at the Melbourne and Edinburgh Festivals, and even at the Virgin Rock Festival in London, and appeared in every major comedy showcase in the UK; including Live at Jongleurs and The Comedy Store Live. After becoming a dad he moved back to Australia to write the bestselling What I Wish I Knew series and now appears in Reader’s Digest, the Sydney Morning Herald and a dozen other magazines, and regularly appears on Sunrise as one of Mel’s Devils.
