As soon as James Branch walks on, he brings an easy atmosphere, with a relaxed and confident manner that makes it feel like being at home. He's a smartly-dressed 'upper-working-class' man - as he descibes himself - in a grey suit, no tie of course. Not a drop-dead stud - but comfortably good-looking. His jokes range from average misogynistic banter to some highly amusing anecdotes about Neil Armstrong. Although not all of James Branch's material is very funny, there are no extended lulls during the hour of chat, and quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.
