James Mullinger
Comedian James Mullinger has done what a lot of us probably dream of doing. He left London and relocated, starting a whole new life with his wife and family. Mullinger chose New Brunswick in Canada. Since arriving he has lived the dream - with a few bumps along the way while changing from city kid to "country bumpkin" - and established himself as one of the region's top comedy stars. In 2016 he played an arena gig at Saint John's Harbour Station which outsold his hero Jerry Seinfeld.
Canada-based British comic James Mullinger has filled Harbour Station stadium arena in Saint John for a second time. Four years ago when he moved there, he was told he wouldn't get any work as a comedian because New Brunswick didn't like comedy. Twenty four months later in 2016 he sold more tickets than Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Dane Cook, Snoop Dogg, Leonard Cohen, Jeff Dunham and Alice Cooper at the biggest indoor venue in the province
James Mullinger has had what you could call an interesting stand-up comedy career. He was doing perfectly well on the UK circuit but then in 2014 relocated to Saint John in New Brunswick, Canada, where he has become something of a local superstar. In 2016 he filled the Harbour Station arena, breaking the ticket sales record for comedy gigs at the venue in the process – the record was previously held by his hero Jerry Seinfeld.
Canada-based British comedian James Mullinger's record-breaking live performance at Saint John's Harbour Station Arena is to be released through Amazon Prime Video on September 5.
Performing to a sold out crowd of 5000 people, Mullinger riffs on leaving England and moving to a small city on the East Coast of Canada, parenting, homemade wine, local newspapers and Facebook.
