James Veitch - Dot Con
Suspicious emails, unclaimed bonds, Nigerian princes; standard procedure is to delete on sight. What if you replied? UK comedian, bestselling author and self-professed scamp James Veitch has perfected the art of scamming the scammer and brilliantly plays the internet imposters at their own game.
Responsible for the fastest ever TED Talk to reach over two million views in the history of TED, James Veitch delivers unashamedly nerdy, creative and cheeky comedy. A former Apple Store Genius, Veitch's comedy is hi-tech -- picking apart, parodying (and pranking) the technological world we all live in.
