James Meehan
Unlike most comedians who spend a fortune at the Edinburgh Fringe, James Meehan, in what he describes as a moment of madness, spent £3,000 to train as a barber. Now that he has graduated, he is planning on taking his new skill set to the Edinburgh Fringe this year for any comedian needing their hairline giving a trim for ten pound, with half the proceeds going to the male suicide prevention charity CALM.
Comedy fans are being invited to take part in a unique experiment delving into the science of laughter.
Dr Ian Wilkie, comedy expert from the University of Salford, is trying to find out what causes audiences to laugh, whether people are more likely to laugh when they are in large social groups and whether there is such a thing as different types of laughter.
Lancastrian James Meehan is something of a comedy all-rounder. But in a good way. You may have seen him as Jim the Elf in the award-winning subversive kids show Funz and Gamez. Or you may have seen him in sketch group Gein's Family Giftshop. However, he left the group last year and has just released his solo show online. Watch it here.
