About Bubba's Comedy
When I first began producing comedy shows, many of them were fundraisers for organizations like the Susan G. Komen Foundation, local food pantries, and other nonprofits. I never wanted the posters or advertisements to read "Produced by Stephen James." My mother taught me that your work should speak for itself and that it's a mistake to boast about your accomplishments.
So instead of making it about me, I created Bubba's Comedy.
Over the years, Bubba's Comedy has become more than just a name. It's become a mission.
The mission has always been simple: bring people together through laughter while giving comedians a place to perform, communities a reason to gather, and organizations another way to raise money and awareness. Whether it's a packed comedy club, a charity fundraiser, or a small-town venue, the goal has never changed—to leave people better than we found them.
Comedy has an incredible way of connecting people from every walk of life. For a couple of hours, our differences disappear, strangers become friends, and laughter reminds us of what we all have in common.
That's what Bubba's Comedy is about. It's not about one comedian. It's about creating opportunities, supporting communities, and proving that sometimes the best way to help people is to simply make them laugh..
Wanna Feel My Bullet?
After being shot in the face in 2015, my life changed forever. The bullet that remains in my neck became a constant reminder that every day is a gift. Over the years, I've discovered something unexpected: when I let people feel that bullet, the conversation changes. For a moment, their problems don't disappear—but they become real. So do mine. Walls come down, judgment fades, and two strangers suddenly find common ground. I've learned that everyone is carrying something. Mine just happens to be easier to feel. That's the heart behind my return to the stage. I'm not coming back just to tell jokes. I'm coming back to tell stories that make people laugh, think, and maybe even heal a little. Comedy has always been my way of bringing people together, and now it has a deeper purpose than ever before. That same mission inspired my new podcast, A Little Dangerous. It's a place for honest conversations about life, trauma, resilience, accountability, and the humor that helps us survive it all. My hope is that every guest—and every listener—walks away feeling a little less alone. If a simple conversation can change someone's day, imagine what compassion, laughter, and truly listening to one another can do.
