Comedian James Mullinger discusses ADHD’s effect on his life and performances.
James Mullinger was one of the UK’s top comedians and Comedy Editor for GQ magazine when he moved to Canada in February 2014. Since his arrival, he has taken the country by storm. Sold out shows across the country, appearances on CBC’s The Debaters, CTV’s The Social and The Good Stuff With Mary Berg. Movies, TV shows, festivals, awards, podcasts, 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, 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 TD Station Arena with his uniquely hilarious stand- up shows, outselling Jerry Seinfeld, Snoop Dogg and Guns N’ Roses when they played the same venue. An award-winning CBC documentary about the show titled City On Fire was aired nationally to rave reviews. His 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. A film that he co-wrote about his early years in comedy was released in cinemas across the UK and premiered at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal in 2016. It stars actors from Downton Abbey, Twilight, and Game of Thrones.
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 Canada’s global reach. James is also the host of the hit #1 TV series Atlantic Edition, that sees him interviewing icons on the East Coast including Alan Doyle, Chef Michael Smith, Lucinda Flemer, Maestro Fresh Wes, Joel Plaskett and Maesha Brueggergosman. His podcast Mullinger Meets Canadians reached the Top 30 podcast charts and his memoir Brit Happens - Living The Canadian Dream was published by Goose Lane Editions in May 2022 to rave reviews, a Best Non-Fiction Book award and became a national bestseller.
James has also raised more than half a million dollars for charities internationally. He is a much sought-after, corporate clean comedian and keynote speaker internationally on the subjects of the power of positive thinking, embracing change, personal presentation skills, time management, marketing and media and how celebrating where we live can improve how you work, live and play.
