James Cameron Davidson OBE (born 13 December 1953) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, singer and TV presenter. He hosted the television shows Big Break and The Generation Game. He also developed three adult pantomime shows, Boobs in the Wood, Chalkie Does Dallas, and Sinderella.

Notorious for his controversial brand of black comedy, Davidson has made jokes regarding various minority people in his stand-up act, which has made him a subject of frequent criticism and has been involved in several public controversies due to his humour.[1]

In 2007, he was voted the 73rd-greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups.[2]
