James Keating's recent autism diagnosis gave him pause for thought, but he soon realised that, while his short-circuiting brain can trip him up, it’s also the source of his clever wordplay and funny one-liners. Plus, his sensory overload issues and emotional unavailability make his delivery hilariously deadpan. Roll up!

Nominated for the prestigious Billy T Award for comedy in 2009, and with appearances on TV2 ‘Pulp Comedy’ and ‘A Night at the Classic’ under his belt, James' clean stylings have been enjoyed by audiences throughout New Zealand and Australia.
He's performed six solo shows at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, as well as solo shows at the Christchurch Comedy Carnival and the Hamilton Fringe Festival.

Reviews:
"Endearing awkwardness wrapped around elegant, clever material. Genuinely smart, witty gags." - Christchurch Comedy Carnival
"Quick, clever, intelligent rapier wit." - TVNZ
