James Hodge - is a comic. He thinks Bios are gross. He's been the middle act for a bunch of people you've heard of like Dave Chappelle and Marc Maron and Bobcat Goldthwait and a Tom Petty Cover band called The Free Ballers. (that last one Might be made up? Might not be though.) James has shows coming up in tons of places, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and New York. You should probably check him out at one of them. If you watch Dawson's Creek really closely you might see him in the background of a few scenes. (Or you might not.)

So if you love to laugh, appreciate live comedy, good food & drinks, sit back in your comfortable padded swivel seat, and enjoy Raleighwood’s first Night of Comedy. The regular menu will be available from the waitstaff.
