Christina chats with the incredibly talented and hard working British-Canadian comedian James Mullinger about following your dreams, work ethic, orchestrating outside-the-box events, carving your own path and so much more.

James Mullinger, originally one of the UK’s hardest working comedians and Comedy Editor for GQ magazine, moved to New Brunswick (the province I grew up in), Canada in 2014 and has since become a sensation across the country. Known for his sold-out shows, appearances on CBC’s The Debaters, movies, TV shows, and festivals, James has done it all. He was recently named one of the Most Inspiring Immigrants in Atlantic Canada and released a National bestselling memoir, Brit Happens. Mullinger also stars in New Brunswick’s first national sitcom, has raised over $150,000 for Canadian charities, and co-founded and launched his own international magazine with his wife Pamela, The Maritime Edit.
