British-born, Saint John-based, comedian James Mullinger returns to The Carleton with his new standup show on Saturday, February 9th. This special early show starts at 7 PM and tickets are $20.

British comedian James Mullinger has taken Canada by storm. Sold out shows across the country, appearances on CBC’s The Debaters, movies, TV shows, festivals, awards, magazines, stand up specials – since moving to The Maritimes five years ago he’s done it all.

But he’s putting movies and TV shows aside to go out and do what he loves most. Live stand up comedy. For all of Spring James is on the road again and this is his only Halifax tour date at his favourite venue The Carleton!

In April 2016, James sold out New Brunswick’s biggest indoor venue Harbour Station with his uniquely hilarious stand up show. This record breaking show was documented for a CBC documentary film ‘City On Fire‘ which has aired across Canada to rave reviews and high ratings. The stand up special of the show itself was picked up by Hulu and Amazon Prime so his tales of life in Atlantic Canada are now being enjoyed by (or confusing!) people in Germany, Japan and America.

And then in 2018 he did it again, packing Harbour Station a second time, this time beating his own sales record!

James has toured extensively to packed houses across Canada and England and written and produced a big screen feature film starring actors from Downton Abbey and Twilight about his early years in stand up, which was described as “unmissable” by GQ Magazine and “essential viewing. A funny, realistic look at what it takes to become a stand up comedian,” by the Montreal Times.

James is one of Atlantic Canada’s biggest cheerleaders. He loves it here and spends his time promoting it across the world and raising money for charities and non-profits. James has raised more than $100,000 for Canadian charities. He has also become one of Canada’s top comics, being nominated for both a Just For Laughs comedy award and a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Live Show.

He also launched his own international magazine The Maritime Edit to share his love of The Maritimes and cities across Canada with the rest of the world.

This show is sure to sell out and will feature brand new material as well as some of his classic routines including Maritime Directions. Book now!
