Jest a Little Further

Hello! My name is James Rodriguez-Hughes, (aka Roodie aka Roddie)
I'm a comedian, actor, writer, director, and life coach w/ 7+ years’ experience working as a systems designer and health program strategist. I have a deep interest in applied psychology and sizable lived experience in overcoming PTSD and childhood trauma.
The triangulated perspective of having been a patient, coach and system level strategist offer me unique perspectives, which I am keen to share. Combining my skills a leader, problem solver, comedian and performer; I am building platforms across London (and the world) to share learning and perspectives.
Spanning philosophy, psychology, system design & social politics, I will be using storytelling, theatre and debate to talk about the things I think can make the biggest impact to modern society; the things that help people to live well in a fair, just & playful society that finds joy in its own existence. And hopefully having some fun along the way, I hope you do too!
