James Hodge

with special guest Russell Crowley

He’s toured with Dave Chappelle, shared the stage with Marc Maron, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Barry Crimmins, while touring internationally, sharpening his fiery political rants that rack up millions of views, and counting! 

 

James Hodge has been a nationally touring comedy headliner for over ten years, commanding rooms coast to coast and earning nods from comedy royalty. Online, he’s known for his sharp blend of silliness and bite—whether it’s bold political commentary, revving up his audience behind a motorcycle, or cutting through the digital waves on his sailboat. His content has drawn nearly half a million followers across social platforms.

 

Not just hilariously sarcastic, James is an adventurous storyteller. Motorsports, the open sea, or a backstage snapshot with Bill Murray, Dave Chappelle, and Donnell Rawlings—he’s lived it all and shared it with flair. Appearing on the Sailing Into Oblivion podcast episode “Comedy and Sailing with James Hodge” shows another dimension—calm, candid, and full of salty wit. 

 

And yes—his mom thinks he’s hilarious.
