I interviewed James Mullinger on March 25, 2020 just at the start of our isolation due to COVID 19. We had a wonderful chat about all things from his background, how it came to be that he came to Canada from England, how he has grown his comedian following in New Brunswick and made a career on paper that nobody would believe yet he saw it when he was a teenager. James combines his two passions being a magazine industry with his wife as well as a great career as a stand up comedian living in Rothesay, New Brunswick. I so appreciated his time and insights.

“James Mullinger is Britain’s greatest gift to Canadian comedy.” Montreal Times
James Mullinger was one of the UK’s top comedians and the Comedy Editor for GQ magazine when he moved to Canada six years ago. Since his arrival, he has taken the country by storm. Sold out shows across the country, appearances on CBC’s The Debaters, movies, TV shows, festivals, awards, stand up specials – he’s done it all.
An award-winning writer, comedian and filmmaker, he spent 15 years in a senior position at British GQ magazine, interviewing everyone from Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Rudd to Rachel Weisz and Scarlett Johansson and launching the magazine’s digital division. In April 2016 and 2018, James sold out Harbour Station Arena in New Brunswick, outselling both Jerry Seinfeld and Guns N Roses at the same venue.
His latest stand up special, Almost Canadian, shot straight to #1 on the iTunes charts and was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Taped Live Performance. It is available to watch internationally on Amazon Prime Video.
In June 2017 he launched Atlantic Canada's first ever international magazine, [EDIT] - an award-winning premium media brand devoted to celebrating business leaders and creatives doing the unexpected while expanding Atlantic Canada’s global reach.
James has also raised more than $150,000 for Atlantic Canadian charities. He is a much sought after corporate clean comedian and keynote speaker internationally on the subjects of marketing, media and uplifting positivity celebrating life, work and play in Canada.
After the outbreak of the Corona Virus, James released his latest stand up special, Almost Canadian (filmed in front of 5000 fans at TD Station Arena), free of charge to YouTube for people to enjoy while in self isolation. Click here to watch: https://youtu.be/BMaS--LwROU
