As host of the live afternoon Radio program on 702 ABC Sydney, James demonstrates that he is a writer of great range contributing humourous copy for his radio show every week day. He publishes the best of this to his blog and is a regular contributor to 'The Punch' website.
He is the author of six books, including the popular Jumpman series for young readers and two books of adult humour, The Form Guide and Spotfull.

A fine jazz musician too, James plays saxophone and sings with his own quartet. He has recorded his first album for ABC Music entitled Debut which will be released in October.
For corporate events James is one of those rare MC's who can write his own material to a client brief, host an event and offer music to suit the occasion. From pre dinner drinks, to accompanying presentations to dancing afterwards, James can offer a unique touch to your night. As bandleader and MC James can really make your event swing.
When an event needs a lighter touch, humour and a professional deft hand, James Valentine delivers.
