Past Speakers

I was based in Halifax from 2005 until 2020 where I built up my skills working my way up as an admin in the hospital system to Supervisor and then moving on to Management in Government during my final year in Halifax.

When that temporary position ended, my family and I took the opportunity to make a run for it back to a simpler, safer, quieter life in our home province of New Brunswick.

In March 2020, James was in the middle of a global tour when the pandemic forced him off the road. He has since become one of the most in-demand virtual comedians on the circuit, performing virtually for companies around the world.
