An Englishman Goes Town to Town Performing Stand Up in Rural Atlantic Canada

James Mullinger is a British comedian who now lives in Atlantic Canada. A circuit regular in the UK, he had his own TV show (Movie Kingdom) as well as an online series for Comedy Central. He toured five stand up shows over five years and was also the Comedy Editor for GQ Magazine where he directed short films with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling, Robin Williams and Paul Rudd (see here ) as well as Simon Pegg and Stephen Merchant (watch here). He also ran his own comedy club for seven years which played host to the likes of Russell Brand, Sugar Sammy, Darrin Rose, Stephen Merchant, Jimmy Carr and many more. A year ago he moved with his wife and children (Hunter, four, and River, one) to New Brunswick, Canada. Everyone thought he was mad. But his career has flourished rather then floundered. Why? The Interrobang finds out.
